D.C. Public Schools says student information from 55 schools, including families' addresses, could have been exposed due to a data breach, according to school officials.
The school system sent a letter to families Wednesday saying that an unauthorized third party may have gotten access to information stored in a web-based application used for DCPS Summer Learning registration.
"Upon learning of this incident, we immediately engaged the DC Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) to support a thorough investigation, removed student data from the affected application, and notified law enforcement," said the letter from Yiesha Thompson, interim deputy chancellor of DCPS Finance and Operations.
