Important Update Regarding the December PowerSchool Data Security Breach
Posted by Joseph Bergeron on Wednesday, May 7 at 3:57 PM in Mount Greylock Regional School District

Dear MGRSD community,

We are writing to inform you of a recent development related to the cybersecurity incident PowerSchool experienced in December 2024.

PowerSchool notified school districts today that a threat actor has contacted multiple school districts in an attempt to extort them using data from the previously reported December 2024 incident. PowerSchool does not believe this is a new incident and is working with the government and cybersecurity experts to address the topic.

There is nothing new for the district or you to do at the moment, but this is a good moment to share a reminder about PowerSchool’s offer of credit monitoring and identity protection services for a period of two years to students and staff, past and present, regardless of whether they were individually involved. We encourage everyone in our school community to take advantage of the opportunity:

We wanted to share this update as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency. We remain committed to working to provide support in any way we can.

Sincerely,

Joe Bergeron
Interim Superintendent

Director of Operations & Technology
