Why a coordinator might choose security

The Google technologies letter package solution is not super secure; but, I think it is better than even password protected PDFs, etc.  People who went to the World Cup Soccer games didn't necessarily care about security - they just wanted to see the games.  Never-the-less ample security officers were on hand because the folks responsible for security and the production wanted to take at least some steps to provide a safe environment.  Ditto, my son may not care about security at his elementary school; but, since Sandy Hook - they've tried to add a few more measures.  Even if most of the students and teachers don't care about (read: think about) security, the principal at the school may see the need to take simple steps to increase security.

Why the Google Drive Solution may be the best security for our letter package

You can put "password protection" on PDF and Word Docs - it is just that it is fairly easily cracked.

Note that if you email letters many people use Outlook and other email applications which often store emails on the local computer.
