The audit found that inappropriate websites had been accessed on three school computers. Auditors determined sexually related websites were viewed on a school administrator’s computer, a computer in the students’ computer lab and a computer in the teachers’ lounge. These inappropriate websites were accessible because the school’s web-filtering software was not installed with proper controls and was inactivated for a period of time. In addition, school employees shared passwords, did not sign off the computer network regularly or shut down computers at the end of the day.
The audit discovered two security guards employed by the school building’s landlord did not have required background checks and fingerprinting. Students pass the security desk each time they leave or enter the building. State law requires a criminal background check for potential employees that will come in direct contact with students.
