DCPS Investigates Summer Learning App Data Breach

District of Columbia Public Schools is investigating a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized party may have accessed student data in a web-based Summer Learning registration application. Potentially exposed information includes student and guardian contact and identifying details, though DCPS says the system did not hold Social Security numbers or parent financial information and that it has found no known misuse. The district removed data from the application, engaged the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer and law enforcement, and is reviewing safeguards.
