Forest Hills School District had a computer security breach which exposed the information on all of the district’s more than 9,000 students.
The information included the student identification numbers, home addresses and parent email addresses.
The school acted in the incident after the opponents of the district’s controversial building plans apparently used the parent list to send a mass email urging opposition to a $103 million building bond issue on the November ballot.
