Canvas Security Incident Update – May 8, 2026
Petersburg School District is aware of the cybersecurity incident affecting Canvas, the learning management system used by our schools. Instructure, the company that operates Canvas, temporarily took the platform offline on May 7th as a precautionary measure while addressing the issue.
Canvas is now fully restored and available for use by students and staff.
Instructure’s CEO has confirmed directly to Petersburg School District that there is no evidence that any PSD account credentials were compromised or that any additional data was taken from our institution.
We will continue to monitor the situation and share updates as needed. For the latest information from Instructure, visit:
