School districts are required by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), Freedom of Information Act, and state Sunshine Laws to keep relevant electronic information reasonably accessible for e-discovery and public record searches. With the ongoing budget cuts and insufficient resources, many districts have been deflecting requests for email archiving systems from their IT staff and have painfully learned that backup tapes don’t solve the e-discovery problem. Litigation has become increasingly common and the lack of preparedness is a huge liability for institutions.

Hundreds of school districts have taken advantage of the $99 special price for MailMeter Archive. Education and government groups that use Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino, and Ipswitch IMail are archiving email records automatically to be in compliance with regulations.

"With the drastic budget cuts challenging even the most frugal superintendents, we wanted to make sure that school districts could satisfy their regulatory needs. The $99 special price is a huge discount from our normal business pricing. MailMeter Archive is a full functioning solution: for unlimited mailboxes and can run on an existing Windows server. No other software solution or hardware appliance comes even close to this low cost investment and long term value.”

Important Questions to ask your Legal and IT staff

• What would be the cost or damage if our district were fined or sanctioned for non-compliance?
• Do we have an Email Acceptable Usage Policy? Do all of our employees know it?
• How do we know when your policy has been broken? How do we measure, manage and enforce our policy?
• How many times has an employee emailed confidential information in error? Or on purpose?
• How do we know if employees are emailing offensive material to others within or outside the district?
• What percentage of your company email is non-work related?
• How many gigabytes of pictures, music and movie files travel through your school system each week?
