There is little to no positive outcome to paying a ransom as schools will inevitably lose a portion of their data, according to one cybersecurity expert.

For the first time since the start of the pandemic, schools with enrollment shortfalls will have to pay back money midway through the school year.

Uncertainties over the stolen data will persist well into the future not only for the district but also for those whose personal information was published on the dark web.

The complaint is the culmination of recently heightened concerns about the safety and well-being of LGBTQ students in the district’s 23 schools.
