10.C.1.b. Approve Purchase of Cybersecurity Curriculum Attachments: ( 2 ) Cybersecurity Curriculum Coherent Cyber Education Quote Discussion: How many students are enrolled in the Cyber-Security program? Response : Thank you for the question about the Coherent Cybersecurity curriculum and the number of students in the program. When we look at current Focus data, there are 64 students in the Cybersecurity PTECH Academy at Eastern Hills and 43 students at Trimble Tech in Cybersecurity that are currently registered for a total of 107 students. However, campuses are currently putting in student schedules, so the above numbers are not fully accurate. To overcome this issue of not all students being registered currently at the campus level, we utilize progression plans (courses that students have requested but have not been entered into Focus yet). When we utilize progression plans, we utilize a 90% rule for students to move to the next level of the class. With this method, this equates to 185 students in the classes that will be in the programs over the course of the 24/25 school year (SY); however, not every class utilizes this cybersecurity curriculum. We have calculated that we need 160 licenses for this curriculum for all the Freshman, Sophomores, and Junior level classes to assist with industry-based certification prep during the 24/25 SY. If a license is not utilized in 24/25 SY, we will remain available for the 25/26 SY for FWISD usage.
