St. Charles churches, libraries helping families after Francis Howell District network outage
Late Wednesday afternoon, the Francis Howell School District confirmed that it's the latest victim of a cyber attack when malware was used to get information on computer systems. This comes after the district said it observed "unexpected activity" within its network on Monday.
Students will return to school tomorrow after having two days of remote learning. One parent said she received an email that her student's information may be compromised. When asked how many parents received that notice or how long the investigation would take, the district said it didn't have any new information at this time.
The district said it completed several safety checks on various systems. It also said schools will not have internet access for instructional purposes for at least the rest of the week.
"Over the last 48 hours, we have been working to check and confirm safety systems such as key fobs, building intercoms, exterior door intercoms, fire alarms, HVAC systems. (This ensures) all schools have access to emergency contact information, bus routes, IEP and 504 plans, student medical plans and other information necessary to safely hold in-person learning," district superintendent Dr. Kenneth Roumpos said.
