Superintendent reports PowerSchool breach, campus security concerns and schedules for joint meeting
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Lopez told trustees the district is addressing a PowerSchool incident (vendor providing two years of credit monitoring), noted campus security concerns including a stolen piece of turf at McCabe, and reported the city requested alternate joint‑meeting dates of April 23 or April 30, 2025.
Superintendent Dr. Lopez reported to the Board that the district's PowerSchool instance had been hacked; according to the minutes, PowerSchool is assisting those impacted with two years of paid credit monitoring. Trustees asked for a report on break‑ins and thefts, and Trustee Sergio Valdez asked when repairs to the McCabe field would be completed; Dr. Lopez said the track repair would wait for warmer weather, possibly the end of March, and that the P.D. was handling the stolen turf piece.
Dr. Lopez also said the City of Mendota could not attend the scheduled joint meeting and requested alternate dates of April 23 or April 30, 2025; the Board set its next Mendota Unified meeting for March 12, 2025. Trustees discussed potential extensions to security coverage and the superintendent said he would consult with Operations staff (J. Alcaide and R. Carlos) about options.
