Colleagues,
Please accept my apology for inadvertently failing to include the Greater Fall River Vocational School District from the list of MAVA schools receiving a 2023 Municipal Cybersecurity Awareness Grant Program Award in our February 28th email notification. The good news is that ten (10) not nine (9) MAVA School Districts were recipients of 2023 Cybersecurity Awareness Grants. We thank Sean Bouzan, Director of Technology at Diman Regional, for bring this to our attention.
