Frequently Asked Questions - Cyber Security Incident

9/8/26

What happened?

An outside group gained access to the SPS network and blocked the district's ability to access certain online programs necessary to operate schools effectively. This cyber activity has been classified as a districtwide Level 4 severe incident. Federal, state, and local law enforcement have been engaged.

When did this start?

There was some minor intermittent disruptions around Tuesday evening. Those disruptions elevated to malicious cyber traffic on Saturday evening.

Why are schools closed?

The district’s ability to access vital student medical records is one of the programs impacted. Without access to that program, nurses cannot access information to dispense medication, address, allergies, and more.

When will schools reopen?

Schools will reopen when we are assured nurses have access to the vital student medical records they need.

Was student or staff personal information compromised?
The extent and scope of this severe cyber incident remains an ongoing investigation. More information will be shared as it is known.

What should families do?

SPS students and staff should stay off all SPS networks until further notice.

How can I stay informed on latest developments?

Families should look for district texts, school-based communication, and refer to the district's social media platforms for important updates.

When will all systems be operational again?

Because so many systems have been impacted, there will be a careful and slow process to bring them back online safely and securely.

Will school be the same when students return?

Many online processes will be completed by hand, using pen and paper while the district is restoring operations. Students and teachers may use books, notebooks and paper while technology teaching tools are restored.
