TASB Talks is a regular podcast produced by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). Each episode features subject-matter experts on important education-related issues. The most recent episode (August 21, 2019) focuses on the issue of cybersecurity in school districts and features guest, Lucas Anderson, TASB’s privacy and cyber risk consultant.

While the podcast has a Texas focus (and shifts topics near the end), it’s a really terrific discussion and well worth the listen no matter in which state your district is located:
