PowerSchool Data Breach Update Dear families and educators of the Fayette County School Corporation community, As we previously communicated, PowerSchool – a cloud-based software vendor used by the Fayette County School Corporation – recently experienced a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain information in the PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS). PowerSchool serves thousands of school districts across the globe and the impact is widespread. The Fayette County School Corporation could not have prevented this incident locally. We are reaching out to share more information and next steps that we recently received directly from PowerSchool: • Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring Services: PowerSchool has engaged Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, to offer two years of complimentary identity protection services for all students and educators whose information from our PowerSchool SIS was involved. This offer will also include two years of complimentary credit monitoring services for all adult students and educators whose information was involved. • Notification to Individuals Involved: Starting in the next few weeks, in collaboration with Experian, PowerSchool will provide notice to students (or their parents / guardians if the student is under 18) and educators whose information was involved, as well as a phone number to answer any questions you may have about the incident. The notice will include the identity protection and credit monitoring services offer (as applicable). • As soon as PowerSchool learned of the incident, they engaged cybersecurity response protocols and mobilized senior leadership and third-party cybersecurity experts to conduct a forensic investigation of the scope of the incident and to monitor for signs of information misuse. PowerSchool is not aware of any identity theft attributable to this incident. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/ for up-to-date information on the cybersecurity incident. We care deeply about the welfare of our Spartan families and will continue to do everything we can to support you. Thank you for the important role you play in our community and your shared commitment to putting our students first. Respectfully, Jeremy Duncan Fayette County School Corporation Superintendent

Dear Fayette County School Corporation Parents and Guardians, As we prepare for the upcoming week, forecasts indicate that inclement weather may be a potential concern. Our priority is always to ensure the safety of our students and staff while maintaining continuity in learning. If weather conditions necessitate school closures, our district will transition to eLearning days. On eLearning days, work is provided to students asynchronously (without live online sessions) through Google Classroom. If your child has a device at home with connectivity, they should plan to complete this work online. We understand that some students may not have their Chromebooks at home due to the recent holiday break. Please rest assured that we will accommodate this situation. Upon return to school, students will be provided work and will be granted two days for each eLearning day to complete any missed assignments. This extension ensures that all students have ample time to catch up without added stress. If a closure is necessary, please watch closely for updates on specific guidelines for work completion, taking attendance, and more from your child's school. Please remember that we are limited to three asynchronous eLearning Days per year. Any school closures beyond three days will result in days added to the end of the school year. There are no built in snow days in the 2024-2025 school calendar. Go Spartans!
