On March 25, Illuminate notified the DOE that its investigation was consummate, and that some students' personally identifiable information was accessed past someone without authorization.

    We are outraged about this breach, and we will do everything possible to protect student data going frontwards and to provide further information to families affected by this breach.

    We are waiting for Illuminate to provide us with more details from their investigation, including which pupil records were accessed past the unauthorized user. Illuminate has shared the following data with united states of america:

    ·Names and ID numbers (OSIS) were accessed for all students impacted by the breach.

    ·Date of birth was accessed for nearly all students impacted by the breach.

    ·The types of data that were accessed for students are:

    oBiographic data, such equally gender, ethnicity, and race.

    oAcademic information, such as teacher schedules, course assignments, and test scores.

    ·No copies of student IEPs were impacted.

    ·No family or educatee financial data or social security numbers were accessed.

    If your student's records were accessed as function of Illuminate'southward interruption in security, you will receive a letter in the coming weeks with more information about what personally identifiable information was accessed, what steps Illuminate is taking to correct the state of affairs, and how to enroll in credit monitoring services, paid for by Illuminate.

    The DOE is taking this situation very seriously, and, at the Mayor'south direction, has referred this matter to law enforcement and is considering what recourse we accept on behalf of families against Illuminate. Nosotros deeply regret that your students' confidential data may have been impacted. The DOE remains committed to making sure vendors use stiff protections to keep student data prophylactic. Illuminate has informed united states that they have added more safeguards to protect student information and take committed to independent verification of the security measures they have put in place.
