Springfield Public Schools has called a schools closure for Tuesday, September 8 following a cyber incident that has interrupted the service of some systems necessary for essential school operations, Superintendent Dr. Sonia Dinnall announced today.

The schools closure will allow district officials to continue the urgent address of the issue, she said.

“We understand that an unexpected closure creates significant challenges and we appreciate the patience, flexibility and understanding of the entire Springfield Public Schools community as we work to address this incident and restore systems,” said Dinnall

She added that the exact scope and size of the breach remains under investigation and said that all Springfield Public Schools staff have been directed to stay off of district network systems until further information is known.

Students with district-issued the laptops should do the same, she said

“The decision to close schools is not made lightly”, said Dinnall. “The most important consideration will always be the health and safety of those inside our school buildings. We simply are not willing to risk any lapse in that.”

She added that the school closure will also allow administrators to organize backup plans for non-essential technology tools, such as attendance reporting, for example, that may remain available while the matter continues to be addressed.

The closure is schools-based, but Central Office remains open though some services, including phone lines, may be impacted.

School closures also include the cancellation of after- school activities.

Las escuelas públicas de Springfield han decretado el cierre de los centros educativos para el martes 8 de septiembre tras un incidente cibernético que ha interrumpido el servicio de algunos sistemas necesarios para el funcionamiento esencial de los centros, según ha anunciado hoy la superintendente, Dr. Sonia Dinnall.

El cierre de los centros permitirá a los responsables del distrito seguir abordando con urgencia el problema, ha señalado.

“Entendemos que un cierre inesperado plantea importantes dificultades y agradecemos la paciencia, la flexibilidad y la comprensión de toda la comunidad de Las escuelas públicas de Springfield mientras trabajamos para resolver este incidente y restablecer los sistemas’, ha declarado Dinnall.

Ha añadido que el alcance y la magnitud exactos de la brecha de seguridad siguen siendo objeto de investigación y ha indicado que se ha ordenado a todo el personal de las Escuelas Públicas de Springfield que no acceda a los sistemas de la red del distrito hasta que se disponga de más información.

Los alumnos que dispongan de ordenadores portátiles proporcionados por el distrito deben hacer lo mismo, señaló.

“La decisión de cerrar los colegios no se toma a la ligera”, afirmó Dinnall. “La consideración más importante será siempre la salud y la seguridad de quienes se encuentran dentro de nuestros centros educativos. Simplemente, no estamos dispuestos a arriesgarnos a que se produzca ningún fallo en ese aspecto”.

Añadió que el cierre de los colegios también permitirá a los administradores organizar planes de contingencia para herramientas tecnológicas no esenciales, como los informes de asistencia, por ejemplo, que podrían seguir estando disponibles mientras se sigue abordando el asunto.

El cierre afecta a los centros educativos, pero la Central Office permanece abierta, aunque algunos servicios, incluidas las líneas telefónicas, puedan verse afectados.

El cierre de los centros educativos también implica la cancelación de las actividades extraescolares.
