Union County Public Schools

Private information of students at Union County Public Schools across the state were compromised by a software misconfiguration by a third-party vendor.

The misconfiguration came after iLeadr, a company used by multiple school districts and charter schools, stored records in a cloud-based storage container without sufficient security protections.

However, soon the investigation was launched and it was confirmed that one or more files containing archived records may have been vulnerable to unauthorized access for a period of time.

The compromised information included Student name/student ID number, School name, Dates of birth, gender, ethnicity and race, Parent/guardian name and contact information, Qualifying status, Schools attended by grade, Attendance records, Core instruction plans and individual student learning plans, Universal screening/assessment data reports and progress monitoring data and other information.
