Dear USD 431 Family –
We are writing to follow-up on the recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool.
PowerSchool informed us that the taken data primarily includes parent and student contact information with data elements such as name and address information. Across their customer base, they have determined that for a portion of individuals, some personally identifiable information (PII), such as social security numbers (SSN) and medical information, was impacted. They are working with urgency to complete their investigation and determine whether PII belonging to our students was included. USD 431 does not collect or use Student or Staff Social Security Numbers within the PowerSchool System.
Protecting our students is something we take seriously. With PowerSchool’s help, more information and resources (including credit monitoring or identity protection services if applicable) will be provided to you as it becomes available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in dealing with this situation.
Sincerely,
USD 431

Dear USD 431 Families,
I’m writing to let you know that yesterday, January 8th, PowerSchool notified us about a widespread data breach that they reported happened on Dec. 28. According to the message from PowerSchool, they believe that this breach is now contained but may have affected the data of our employees and/or students and their families.
USD 431 is serious about protecting the security and privacy of your data. This breach not only violates our expectations for district vendors; it also violates board policy and Kansas law.
At this time, we have limited information and await additional guidance from PowerSchool officials. Rest assured, we are doing everything we can to learn more and will notify you directly if/when we receive information about how this breach affects you/your family, your data or your next steps.
Thank you for your partnership as we work through this incident with PowerSchool. Our commitment to protecting your private data has never been stronger, and we greatly appreciate your patience and trust in the coming weeks.
Sincerely,
Patrick Crowdis
