PowerSchool is a student information system used by schools across Newfoundland and Labrador. In or around December 2024, PowerSchool experienced a cybersecurity breach involving unauthorized access to personal information stored in its systems.
The information that was unlawfully accessed included names, dates of birth, contact information, student identification numbers, school information, parent or guardian information, and other personal information of people who were students between 1995-2024. Similar information of teachers employed in the Provincial School system between 1995-2024 was also illegally accessed.
