All Highline Public Schools will remain closed for the third consecutive day this Wednesday, September 11th, due to an ongoing technology breach. The breach has forced the district to take precautionary measures to ensure the safety of its students and staff. The closure affects all schools within the district, causing disruption to thousands of students’ education and parents’ routines.
The breach was first detected on Monday, September 9th, prompting the district to shut down its entire network to prevent further damage. Despite efforts to resolve the issue, the district has announced that schools will remain closed on Wednesday as they continue to work to address the breach and restore normal operations.
The closure has left parents scrambling to find alternative childcare arrangements, as well as causing concern among students and staff about the security of their personal information. In a statement, the district assured parents that they are working around the clock to resolve the issue and will provide updates as soon as they become available.
This incident highlights the growing threat of cyber attacks on school districts and the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive information. Highline Public Schools is not the first district to fall victim to a technology breach, and experts warn that similar incidents may become more common as hackers target vulnerable systems.
School officials are urging parents and staff to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the district. In the meantime, students are advised to continue their studies remotely and check for updates on the district’s website and social media channels.
