Dear Cumberland School District Families,
We are notifying you of a recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, a software vendor that provides our Student Information System (SIS).
On Tuesday, January 7, 2025, PowerSchool informed our leadership team that they experienced a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool SIS customer data. As of this notification, we have confirmed that the information belongs to some of Cumberland School District’s current and prior students.
PowerSchool informed us that the compromised data primarily includes parent and student contact information with data elements such as name and address. Across their customer base, they have determined that for a portion of individuals, some personally identifiable information (PII), such as social security numbers (SSN) and medical information, was impacted. They are working with urgency to complete their investigation and determine whether PII belonging to our students was included.
We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this challenging situation. We will provide more information as it becomes available to us.
