National PowerSchool Incident

Earlier this week, PowerSchool, an international provider of education administration software, announced that it had suffered a cybersecurity incident in late December. Although security of PowerSchool’s systems has been restored, data pertaining to students and educators at hundreds of school systems around the country were subjected to unauthorized access. The breach was limited to PowerSchool’s internal systems, and security of individual school system networks was not disturbed.

Appomattox County Public Schools (ACPS) utilizes some PowerSchool tools. We have asked PowerSchool to identify the scope of impact this incident may have had on information pertaining to members of our community. PowerSchool has assured us that they are investigating the matter.

ACPS takes the privacy of our students’ and employees’ information very seriously. We are committed to holding PowerSchool accountable. PowerSchool has advised us that they will directly notify any impacted individuals with details of the information pertaining to him or her that was affected. ACPS has not been provided with details on what information was exposed for specific individuals.
