Do you know what Hans Riemer has said on that topic, which directly puts students at risk every day? Zero! Also, unlike Hans Riemer, I would not allow the County government to operate on Windows 2000, as it was caught doing in 2014(!!). That had to be one of the most vulnerable platforms in the world, yet your "cybersecurity guru" Riemer had been in office FOUR YEARS at that point.<br /><br />Sale of Lakeforest was handed to the Business Journal, then copied by the small and slightly-failing magazine.
