PowerSchool Security Incident

We have been informed of a recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, which impacted student and staff data globally through their Student Information System. Though our current Student Information System is now Infinite Campus, PowerSchool has been the state provider since 2013. 

According to PowerSchool, the breach may have exposed personal information, including names, addresses, contact details, and other identifiable data. At this time, there is no evidence of misuse; however, PowerSchool continues to investigate and monitor the situation closely. We have also been informed that PowerSchool has a legal obligation to contact specific individuals whose data may have been breached.
