PowerSchool recently experienced a data breach that impacted the staff and families of Public School #29. For more information, please click this link:
Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring Services: PowerSchool will be offering two years of complimentary identity protection services for all students and educators whose information was exfiltrated from your PowerSchool SIS, which will also include two years of complimentary credit monitoring services for all adult students and educators whose information was involved, regardless of whether an individual’s Social Security number was exfiltrated.
Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, will be helping us to provide these services. Details on how to enroll will be included as part of individual notifications. As the offer is specific to this incident, the details contained in the forthcoming enrollment notification will be required to enroll, and cannot be obtained directly from Experian.
Credit monitoring agencies do not offer credit monitoring services for individuals under the age of 18. If a parent / guardian enrolls an individual under the age of 18 in the offered identity protection services, the individual, upon turning 18, will have the opportunity to enroll in credit monitoring services for the duration of the two-year coverage period.
We will update this article as we receive more information.
