Edgecombe County Public Schools

Edgecombe County Public Schools has been notified by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) of a statewide cybersecurity incident affecting student and staff data stored in PowerSchool, a Student Information System we used in previous school years. PowerSchool has confirmed that the threat has been contained. We are actively working with the NCDPI and PowerSchool to determine which data fields were involved and identify any necessary next steps. In the coming days, impacted students and staff will be notified. NCDPI has assured us that there was no action Edgecombe County Public Schools could have taken to prevent this incident, and we remain committed to taking all necessary precautions to protect the security of student and staff information
