PowerSchool Data Breach Resources

PowerSchool informed SCESD of a data breach of its Student Information System (SIS) that impacted current and former students and staff who had records in that system.

PowerSchool is a "legacy" vendor, in that it maintains records from students and staff prior to June 2021. The District no longer uses PowerSchool, but we are required to maintain the data that was collected by PowerSchool. 

This data breach does not impact you if your child(ren) enrolled in, or if you became a staff member of the District after June 2021.

SCESD has been focused on learning as much about the breach and its implications for our current and former staff and students. This page is dedicated to providing comprehensive and transparent communications to our community. 

In the tabs below, you will find our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), as well as the steps PowerSchool will take to remediate the breach and the services they will provide.

The District takes the protection of your personal information seriously, and we will continue to work closely with PowerSchool to ensure the safety of your data. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this issue.
