We are writing to inform you about a recent cybersecurity incident involving PowerSchool, the software provider for our Student Information System (SIS). PowerSchool has communicated an unauthorized breach of customer data that may include names, birthdates, contact information, and potentially other sensitive data like medical information. This incident is part of a larger national data breach affecting thousands of school districts. PowerSchool has informed districts that the breach was contained and measures have been taken to prevent further unauthorized access. However, we encourage our families and staff to keep an eye on your accounts and credit reports as a precaution and will keep you informed if anything further develops from this.

Lansing School District 158 continuously strives to provide a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment within which our students can learn and our staff members can work. We value the contributions and diversity of our team that help to support the District’s mission of educating Lansing’s children in a caring place. On October 4, 2024, the Executive Director of Human Resources sent an email to staff that failed to align with the District’s mission, goals, and expectations. A prompt and thorough investigation of this incident and its impact on the school environment took place. Throughout this process, the District respectfully allowed individuals who were negatively impacted by the email to have their thoughts and feelings heard while also considering the position of the Executive Director. After carefully reflecting on the conduct at issue, its impact on the environment of the District, and hearing directly from staff members and the Executive Director of Human Resources, the Board of Education determined that she could no longer effectively continue to serve in her administrative role. As a result, the Board voted unanimously to immediately terminate her contract as Executive Director of Human Resources. In accordance with her tenure rights under the Illinois School Code, the Executive Director was transferred to a teaching position for which she holds the proper credentials. Her compensation and benefits in this role have been adjusted to align with the collective bargaining agreement between the Board of Education and the Lansing Education Association.
Today at 11:40 AM, the blue light emergency system was accidentally activated at Coolidge Elementary School. Police responded immediately and all students and staff are safe. We apologize for any disruptions this may have caused and appreciate our staff who responded quickly and identified the false alarm.
