NAZARETH, Pa. (AP) — An eastern Pennsylvania school district has revealed that a student downloaded student and teacher information from a computer server from 2011 to 2014.
The (Allentown) Morning Call (http://bit.ly/23oQDrq ) says the Nazareth Area School District sent roughly 5,000 letters to the families of students and teachers whose information might have been copied. The letter went out Friday. The newspaper first reported the development Tuesday.
Superintendent Dennis Riker says the student who copied the information is no longer in the district, and Riker wouldn't say whether or how the student was disciplined.
The hacked information came from the district's lunch program, as well as a drive teachers used in the district's high, middle and intermediate schools.
There's no indication the information was misused.
The district first learned the data had been downloaded last year.
