Neenah schools will be closed Tuesday because of a ‘technology security situation’ that shut down internet, phone systems – Post-Crescent

NEENAH All Neenah Joint School District schools will be closed Tuesday because of a "technology security situation."

According to a letter from the district, the security situation "involves potential unauthorized access to the school data system" that caused an outage of the internet, phone systems and several software applications.

At this point, the district has no reason to believe any confidential or personal information was compromised, the letter said.

After the district discovered the issue, it notified local and federal law enforcement and brought in cyber security experts to begin a forensic investigation, the letter said.

The district hopes to have phones and other systems working again by Wednesday so students and staff can return to school, but students will likely work "in a non-digital environment, possibly into next week."

This story will be updated when more information becomes available.
