Some Victor CSD Students Will Return After Ransomware Attack
VICTOR, N.Y. — Some Victor Central School District students will be back in the classroom Friday as the district continues to deal with a ransomware attack.
Superintendent Tim Terranova said phone systems are up and running along with emergency alarms.
Internet is still down, so teachers will be working directly with students.
In-person learning can resume for students at early childhood school as well as primary school gold cohort pre-k through third grade.
Grades 4 through 12 will remain remote Friday.
Terranova said between Friday and Sunday, laptops across the district will be re-imaged to provide protection.
He is hopeful all students can return to school Monday.
“Our parents have been incredible, you know? They’ve already been dealing with having to have kids here some of the time. Some of our parents have chosen to have their kids 100% virtual as you know. They’re balancing their own family, they’re balancing being pseudo-teachers to their kids. As they work collaboratively with us and then we have to tell them, ‘by the way, now nobody’s coming to school for a while,”’ said Terranova.
Victor CSD Remaining Remote Wed. After Ransomware Attack
VICTOR, N.Y. — The Victor Central School District gave an update on the ransomware attack that took place over the weekend, saying the FBI and Department of Homeland Security are now investigating.
That attack compromised district servers, knocking out internet, phones, and other systems like Schooltool and Transfinder.
Luckily school officials say no personal student or staff data was affected.
Students will remain learning remotely Wednesday.
Pre-K to third grade may have an opportunity to return to the classroom Thursday, but fifth through 12th grades will be remote for the remainder of the week.
The district says it will update families daily on Facebook and Blackboard Connect.
