Board discusses PowerSchool data-breach class action; moves item to Nov. 17 agenda
Summary
Board members heard a presentation on joining a class-action lawsuit over PowerSchool’s December 2024 data breach and moved the item to the Nov. 17 meeting for formal action; district staff noted PowerSchool holds the district’s student information system.
Board President Sarah Belanger and Superintendent Dr. Adam Spina presented the district with the option to join a class action lawsuit against PowerSchool related to a December 2024 data breach. Presenters said PowerSchool is the district’s student information system and that hackers claim to hold personal data for millions of students and staff nationwide; district information was described as having been put at risk.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the implications and potential next steps. Mrs. Belanger moved the item to ACTION for the Nov. 17, 2025 regular meeting so the board can receive legal counsel input and any recommended board action. No binding decision to join litigation was made at this meeting.
