Tech Tidbit – Flash Drill – How Would Your Team Handle This Superintendent Request?

Today is a flash drill exercise.

The Superintendent just told you that a retiring employee went rogue on the last day of school and sent a defamatory email to the entire district email distribution list.

The Superintendent and your district legal counsel are asking you these questions:

Where did the email go?

Did it leave the district?

Who opened it?

Did anyone open it and forward it elsewhere?

Is there a way to recall it?

Can you answer the Superintendent's questions based on your existing Microsoft 365 or Google Apps environment?

How would you approach answering this request?

(I've had a few of these scenarios happen over the years).

Good luck!
