USD 243 Families, We are writing to inform you about a data breach involving PowerSchool, the platform we use to manage student and staff information. On December 28, 2024, PowerSchool identified unauthorized access to certain customer data through their PowerSource portal, which is used for community and customer support. This breach impacted data belonging to families, students, and staff in our district. PowerSchool has assured us that the breach is now contained and that no other PowerSchool products were affected. They have also taken measures to address the issue, including deactivating the compromised credentials, resetting passwords, and enhancing security protocols. At USD 243, the security and privacy of your information are of the utmost importance. We are working closely with PowerSchool to understand the full scope of this incident and its potential impact. As of now, PowerSchool has not identified evidence of misuse or further dissemination of the data, and they are offering credit monitoring services to affected adults and identity protection for minors as a precaution. In the coming days, we will provide more information about how this incident may affect you and the steps you may need to take. PowerSchool is preparing a communications package with resources and FAQs to help address your concerns. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we address this issue and will keep you updated with any new information as it becomes available. If you have immediate questions, please feel free to contact our district office. Thank you for your trust and partnership as we work through this situation together.
