Instructional Computer Security Policy

[Sanitra Angram/Admin/Avery/MCS <AngramS () MCSK12 NET>]

Hello,

This is a question pertaining to K12 environments. What idle time-out
setting, if any, are you deploying on your school administration and
instructional machines? If above 15 or 20 minutes, why did you go in this
direction? Were your users complaining? If so, about what issue(s) in
particular?

I'm also interested to know if there are any locations that give the
instructional side local admin privileges to their machines. If not, how do
you handle software installs/updates?

Just interested to know how other districts are handling these issues...

Thanks...SA
