The Edcouch-Elsa school district is taking further action to address the sale of computers with sensitive information through policy changes and efforts in public transparency after failing to do so earlier this year.

The district unintentionally sold the computers April 6 after failing to adhere to procedures in place by district employees, according to previous Monitor stories. A buyer at the auction notified the district and sent the computers to the Texas Attorney General’s office.
As of Friday, there were two computers with sensitive information outside the district’s possession, one from the transportation department and the other from Truan Junior High School.

“In the future, the district will be eliminating its computer surplus equipment sales from the district surplus auction. This change will prevent this incident from happening again in the future,” Rivera said in an Aug. 28 letter posted on the district website.
District staff have also contacted buyers that purchased computers at the April 6 auction, who have said there was no sensitive information on the purchased equipment, according to the news release.
