Concerned about the PowerSchool data breach impacting your district?
If your school district had a data privacy contract with PowerSchool from December 20, 2020, to the present, we have launched mass action litigation addressing the reported December 20, 2024, cybersecurity incident and the unauthorized release of personal information affecting millions of district students and employees.[1]
Holding PowerSchool Accountable For Damages to Vulnerable Youth
Data privacy breaches have serious and long-lasting negative impacts for any victim of the breach; however, such negative consequences are even more pronounced when vulnerable youth are impacted. Such negative consequences impact student safety well-being, academic success, and future opportunities. This is particularly so here, given the scope and types of confidential records accessed.
What Is the Benefit to My District in Joining This Lawsuit?
The lawsuit will be seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief from PowerSchool on behalf of districts, including but not limited to: reimbursement of sums paid by Districts to PowerSchool, damages for costs related to responding to the breach, and a Court order to force PowerSchool to strengthen the security and privacy of its’ systems.
There will be no expenditure of school district funds on this litigation. There is no cost to the school district unless there is a monetary recovery. If you are interested in participating or obtaining further information regarding the litigation, please contact Shiva Stein and Mark Williams using the information shown below.
