The Flemington-Raritan Regional School District is continuing an investigation into a cyber incident that occurred on May 6, district officials said at the board meeting. Specialists and state partners are assisting the inquiry, and officials said they have not been told that personally identifiable information was impacted.

The superintendent said the district briefly took students, staff and faculty offline the Thursday and Friday after May 6 but continued to provide instruction during that period. The district is working with professionals including the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell, the superintendent said.

District officials named members of their technology team and praised their work. The superintendent singled out Kevin Sahaghi, and also named Todd Furman, George Ranjan, Paul Davies, Jeremy Lisonbee and Ralph Lozano, the district’s director of technology, student data and assessment, thanking them for extended work hours during the response.

Officials described which systems were and were not affected. The superintendent said bus routes are stored in Genesis and were unaffected; Individualized Education Program (IEP) and 504 plans are housed in Frontline, which is not hosted locally and was not impacted; parent contact information and other student profiles in Genesis were unaffected. The superintendent also said the district’s Google-hosted email and Drive services remained off-site and were not compromised.

The superintendent said the district changed the public website platform around the same time but that the website move was unrelated to the cyber incident. As a precaution, staff, faculty and board members were asked to change passwords; officials said email systems hosted by Google remained operational and had not been compromised.

District officials said they will provide further details in an upcoming newsletter as the investigation proceeds and thanked the technology team for their work.
