A cybersecurity incident has kept Spokane Public Schools’ PowerSchool and BusinessPlus systems offline, disrupting grades, attendance, parent-teacher messaging, and payroll-related functions. Teachers were recording attendance manually, and information technology staff were working around the clock with outside technicians. The district said preliminary findings indicated staff, rather than students, were affected, and affected people had been notified. Officials did not provide a restoration timetable or speculate on the data targeted. Schools urged families to contact teachers directly while the investigation continued.
