The personal information of 2,000 homeless District of Columbia Public Schools DCPS students was mistakenly published online and accessible for six months.
A spreadsheet with the students' information including student names, birthdates, identification numbers, grade levels, attendance information, housing status and whether they qualified for special education and English Language Learner services was posted online.
DCPS notifies all affected families and also made them aware of proper security protocols.
