Subject:
Designation of Identified Official with Authority for Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) Secure Website Access
Background:
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) requires that school districts annually designate an Identified Official with Authority to comply with the MNIT Enterprise Identity and Access Management Standard which states that all user access rights to Minnesota state systems must be reviewed and recertified at least annually. The Identified Official with Authority will assign job duties and authorize external user’s access to MDE secure systems for their local education agency LEA.
Recommended Action:
The Board recommends to authorize Paul Peterson to act as the Identified Official with Authority (IOwA) and Becky Bailey to act as the IOwA to add and remove names only for Mankato Area Public School District 0077-01 effective until the 2027 organizational meeting.
