Salina Catholic Schools families, please see the message from Superintendent Geoff Andrews regarding the recent Power School Data Breach:
--
Dear Parents,
I am writing to inform you of a cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, the student information system used by our schools. On December 28, 2024, PowerSchool became aware of unauthorized access to certain data through its customer support portal, PowerSource. The company’s investigation determined that a compromised credential was used to access some PowerSchool SIS (Student Information System) customer data.
PowerSchool has assured us that this incident was limited to their SIS product, and other PowerSchool services remain unaffected. As soon as the incident was identified, PowerSchool engaged cybersecurity experts, restricted access to the affected portal, reset passwords, and informed law enforcement.
While there is no evidence of continued unauthorized activity, and the incident is now contained, PowerSchool is committed to providing transparency and support.
We take the security of your child’s information seriously. Although there is no further action required from parents at this time, please feel free to reach out to our diocesan office if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our schools.
Sincerely,
Geoff Andrews
Superintendent of Schools
Catholic Schools of the Salina Diocese
