South Washington County Schools

South Washington County Schools suffered from a massive data breach incident after the accidental release of private student information sent out in an email attachment from the district’s transportation department.

The exposed information includes names, grades, identification numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, bus routes, pick up and drop off times, pick up and drop off locations, and schools of attendance for some 9,000 students.

They asked who so ever received the email to delete the attachment and not forward it.
