In September 2024, Highline School District experienced a data breach involving unauthorized access to its technology systems. This incident affected current and former students, employees, and others whose data was stored in these systems.
The compromised data may have included names, home addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical and health insurance information, student ID numbers, and student demographic and education records. Approximately 94,102 individuals were identified as potential settlement class members following the incident. However, the exact number of individuals formally notified by the district has not been released.
Details regarding the official breach notice letter and any specific state Attorney General filings remain unconfirmed. Information about whether medical data, SSNs, or financial data were confirmed for all affected individuals versus only a subset of records is also not publicly available. Further information may emerge as the legal process continues.
