PowerSchool data breach affects county, state’s larger districts

Body

The scope of the recent PowerSchool data breach is starting to take shape as school districts across Oklahoma, the United States and the world are working to inform those affected.

“This has a global reach. I have a friend that teaches at the American School in Dubai and their data was breached as well,” said Tera Roblyer, Director of Communications and Information Systems for El Reno Public Schools.

El Reno was notified Jan. 7 that PowerSchool servers had been accessed illegally and that certain data on its Teacher Table and Student Table had been stolen.
