Area school districts might have been impacted by the cyberattack of a nationwide education software cloud-based platform called PowerSchool, used to store sensitive student data.

The student information system used by every public school in the state fell victim to a data breach that may have put Alabama students’ medical and grade information at risk, according to the state Department of Education.

Union County Public Schools says it’s among North Carolina districts affected by a breach in the state’s student information system, which resulted in unauthorized access to student and teacher data.
