Oklahoma has no statewide public disclosure requirements, so it’s left up to local districts to decide whether and how to notify parents in the event of a breach of student data, Oklahoma Department of Education officials told THE Journal recently. Oklahoma City Public Schools on May 13 added its 34,000 students to the ever-growing list of those impacted by the Illuminate Education data breach thus far, it is the only district in Oklahoma known to have been among the hundreds of K–12 schools and districts across the country whose private student data was compromised while stored within Illuminate’s systems.

The estimated total of 3 million is based on New York State Department of Education official estimates that “at least 2 million” statewide were impacted, plus the current enrollment figures of the other districts that have since disclosed their student data was also breached by Illuminate.Ĭalifornia requires a notice of a data breach to be posted on the attorney general’s website, but the notices do not include any details such as what data was stolen, nor the number of students affected the same is true in Washington, where Impact Public Schools in South Puget Sound notified the state attorney general this week that its students were among those impacted by the Illuminate incident.

“All providers of digital instructional software, licenses and online subscriptions must have an approved Unified Digital Instruction Protection Plan on file, which includes execution of a Data Use Agreement, and protects student personally identifiable information, product access, and the district’s network when digital instructional software requires the exchange of student and/or employee information to enable access to log in and use the product.”
“The safety and privacy of students’ data in Los Angeles Unified School District is a top consideration and critical component of vetting any third-party tools or products used for instructional purposes in the district,” the LAUSD spokesperson said. The vast reach of the data breach will likely never be fully known because most state laws do not require public disclosure of data breaches Illuminate has said in a statement that the data of current and former students was compromised at the impacted schools but declined to specify the total number of students impacted in multiple email communications with THE Journal.Īn LAUSD spokesperson told THE Journal that the district takes student data privacy very seriously during the vendor vetting process the spokesperson referred questions about the number of current and former students impacted by the Illuminate breach to the district’s public records office, which hasn’t responded to THE Journal’s request for information.
