Crenshaw County Schools were notified on January 7, 2025, of a recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, a globally used education software provider that provides our state's student information system. On December 28, 2024, PowerSchool identified unauthorized access to certain customer information through its PowerSource portal. The company has assured us that the incident is contained, and there is no evidence of ongoing unauthorized activity or operational disruptions. Affected data may include sensitive personal information such as names, addresses, and email addresses. Social security numbers were not involved. PowerSchool has implemented enhanced security measures, and deactivated the compromised credentials. Crenshaw County Schools are working closely with PowerSchool to gather information to communicate with families, educators, and stakeholders. Please note that this is a global issue and does not solely involve Crenshaw County Schools.  We have very little additional information at this time.  For more detailed information, please visit our district website at  http://www.crenshaw-schools.org/.

Any additional information or updates will be posted here as they become available.  

Update:  

No new information has been made available, but please find linked below some news releases discussing the breach.  If any new information becomes available it will be posted here.
