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

Most North Carolina school districts use PowerSchool, including Union County, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and Gaston County.

New Trier said the data that was accessed included names and school ID numbers. No current students' Social Security numbers were accessed, but some former students' were.

PowerSchool, a major education software company, announced a security breach on Tuesday, possibly affecting schools across the nation with data leaks.

The educational software giant said it doesn’t anticipate any of the compromised information “being shared or made public,” as a review of the incident continues.

The personal data of past and present Prince Edward Island school staff and students may have been stolen in a cyberattack that affected educational institutions across the country.

PowerSchool, a national student software company, announced this week that a data breach may have compromised the personal data of students and teachers in school districts across the United States. Some Vermont schools have already reported being affected.

School officials learned of the “potential cybersecurity incident” on Tuesday, Needham Public Schools Superintendent Dan Gutekanst said in a statement.
