We are writing to make you aware of a recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, a software vendor which provides our Student Information System (SIS).
PowerSchool informed our leadership team that they experienced a cybersecurity incident on December 28, 2024 involving unauthorized access to certain PowerSchool SIS customer data. Unfortunately, they have confirmed that the information belongs to some of our families and educators.
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.
PowerSchool has indicated that it will be providing credit monitoring to affected adults and identity protection services to affected minors in accordance with regulatory and contractual obligations.
Protecting our students is something we take seriously. We are following up with PowerSchool to find out more information about how the Kelseyville Unified School District was specifically affected. As we receive more information, we will relay this to families and the community and to any specific individuals impacted.
