Good Afternoon Craig County Public Schools families and employees:
As communicated last week, PowerSchool, an education software provider, suffered a cybersecurity incident in late December resulting in unauthorized access to the data of students and educators from hundreds of school systems around the country. Craig County Public Schools utilizes some PowerSchool tools and has received assurances from PowerSchool that the company will notify any impacted members of the Craig County Public Schools community. PowerSchool’s investigation into this matter is ongoing, and Craig County Public Schools has not been provided with details on what information was exposed for specific individuals.
PowerSchool has now posted an informational FAQ page about the incident to their website: https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/
Craig County Public Schools takes the privacy of our students' and employees’ information very seriously. We will continue to monitor developments about PowerSchool’s response to their breach and how members of our community may have been impacted.
