Dear Petersburg Staff and Families,
On Tuesday, January 7, our school district was informed by our student information system provider, PowerSchool, of a large data breach that impacted their company. This morning I learned that our district is one of dozens across the world whose information is part of that breach.
It is important to note that our district was not individually targeted and PowerSchool has provided assurance that the compromised data was deleted and that no additional copies of the data currently exist. They will be providing us with additional information on January 17 which I will pass on to you.
The privacy and security of student and staff data is a top priority of our district. We will continue to monitor this situation carefully and keep you informed as we learn more.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
Robyn Taylor, Superintendent
Petersburg School District
