PowerSchool Cybersecurity Incident Update: 03/03/2025
Dear RSD 13 Employees, Parents and Guardians , As you may know, PowerSchool became aware of a cybersecurity incident on December 28, 2024 that involved personal information. PowerSchool is a service provider for the District. On or around February 15, 2025, PowerSchool started to send emails to individuals in our district whom they identified were impacted by this cybersecurity incident and for which they had contact information. While this incident did not affect the District’s systems, we have been monitoring PowerSchool’s response very closely. We can confirm that the email from Ps-sis-incident@mail.csid.com or Ps-sis-incident@mail1.csid.com is a legitimate email from Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency that was engaged by PowerSchool to offer credit monitoring services. If you did not receive the email or lost the email, you can still find information at the website below, which includes details about identity or credit monitoring services that you can sign up for yourself or on your minor's behalf : http://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/notice-of-united-states-data-breach/ If you have questions about the incident, you can contact PowerSchool’s dedicated call center at 833-918-9464, Monday through Friday, 8:00am through 8:00pm Central Time. If you have questions for the district, you can reach us by sending an email to psinfo@rsd13.org . Sincerely, Regional School District 13

Notice of PowerSchool Cybersecurity Incident: 01-08-...
Good evening, Regional School District 13 is reaching out to inform you of a cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, the provider of our student information system. This system contains both student and staff data, which is stored off-site by PowerSchool. On Tuesday, January 7th, we were notified by PowerSchool that on December 28, 2024, PowerSchool was subjected to a cybersecurity breach that has impacted numerous school districts across the state. While the full scope of the breach is still under investigation, it is possible that some student data may have been compromised. It is important to note that Regional School District 13 does not store social security numbers in its student information system. PowerSchool has stated that they do not anticipate the compromised data being shared or made public. Additionally, they believe the data has been deleted and that no further copies exist. We will continue to monitor this situation closely and will provide updates as we receive additional information from PowerSchool. Sincerely, Regional School District 13
