Cybersecurity Incident

PowerSchool Update

Updated April 22, 2025 --

Stillwater Area Public Schools has completed its investigation into the PowerSchool cybersecurity incident that occurred in December 2024.

As previously communicated in January, February, and April, this incident involved unauthorized access to certain student and staff information through PowerSchool, the student information system used by our district and many others across the country. While no financial or social security information was accessed or stored in PowerSchool in Stillwater, and there is no evidence that any of the data has been shared or misused, we have continued to take this matter seriously and acted with transparency throughout.

Today, we are releasing our formal investigative report, which provides a detailed summary of the incident, its impact, and the steps taken in response. 

This report also fulfills our obligations under Minnesota law (Minn. Stat. §13.055) to provide a public summary and notice of a data breach involving a government entity.

We appreciate your understanding and continued partnership as we work to safeguard student and staff information. If you have questions or concerns, please visit our frequently asked questions below or contact us directly at comments@stillwaterschools.org
