Richmond Community Schools reported a data breach following a ransomware attack on September 27, which compromised student and staff information stored in PowerSchool. Although there is no evidence of misuse at this time, the district has shut down its data services network for investigation, with assistance from local, state, and federal agencies. Full system functionality may take several days to restore. In the meantime, the district has announced a two-hour delay for Monday, September 30, canceled morning preschool classes, and instructed teachers to prepare “low-tech” lesson plans. The district is committed to keeping the community informed as the situation develops.
