Computer Hack on Campus Leads to Emergency Meeting

There will be an emergency meeting on Friday, February 6th, to decide if the journalism class should be allowed to rent computers for three weeks since the campus is offline.

Due to the entire school campus being hacked online, Leaugetown High School isn’t allowing anyone online. Students are allowed to bring personal computers from home, but wifi won’t be provided.
Rodney Stephens said “It’s great that the school board is moving so quickly on this request. If my request is denied, that would essentially kill an important tradition at this school. Yearbook day for seniors is one of the most beloved traditions at the school.”
For 22 years, the school has sponsored a “Yearbook Day” which is essentially a senior signing party.
Senior, Reggie White said, “We have to get our yearbooks before school is out. It’s one of the highlights of senior year. I certainly won’t be able to come back in the summer or fall for a signing party.”
Ed Robles, district technology director and the police department are doing an investigation, but so far, no suspects have been named. Robles said “Whoever hacked into our system is bright. Very sophisticated hacking, so not a student. The police are getting closer, though. He/She left a few bread crumbs for us to follow.”
