Dear USD 431 Families,
I’m writing to let you know that yesterday, January 8th, PowerSchool notified us about a widespread data breach that they reported happened on Dec. 28. According to the message from PowerSchool, they believe that this breach is now contained but may have affected the data of our employees and/or students and their families.
USD 431 is serious about protecting the security and privacy of your data. This breach not only violates our expectations for district vendors; it also violates board policy and Kansas law.
At this time, we have limited information and await additional guidance from PowerSchool officials. Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to learn more and will notify you directly if/when we receive information about how this breach affects you/your family, your data or your next steps.
Thank you for your partnership as we work through this incident with PowerSchool. Our commitment to protecting your private data has never been stronger, and we greatly appreciate your patience and trust in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
Patrick Crowdis
