Abstract
The research in this study focused on the question of data security. The primary education community is the recipient of large numbers of surplus and used computers from government and Universities. This study reviewed the levels of risk associated with the procedures to sanitize disk media before computers are used by K-12 public schools. National surveys and a localized sample, provide data on the levels of awareness among academic administrations for the need to safeguard electronic data.
