Jason Kamras

By Thursday the 29th, the district had brought in the FDI and a private cybersecurity firm.

The superintendent, Jason Kamras, told staff there was no evidence employees' personal information had been misused or published.

If student data turns out to be affected, he said, families would be notified and offered free credit monitoring.

Now the caveat.

In response to last week's cybersecurity incident at Richmond Public Schools, the division is offering free identity and credit monitoring services to all students and staff.

In an update Monday, Superintendent Jason Kamras said teachers will receive Chromebooks that will allow them to access RPS learning platforms on an alternative network as Internet access remains offline.

RPS is also converting the scheduled Professional Learning Day on Wednesday, October 28, to a school-based work day.

Students are not scheduled to be in the classroom that day.

It also called Blanche and Patel's statements misleading.

Richmond Public Schools Superintendent Jason Kamras says the district is making progress in restoring systems taken offline after a cybersecurity attack.

However, RPS said internet access remained offline Thursday.

The district began working with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement Wednesday after the breach.

As a result, phone and email service as well as access to online classroom tools and learning platforms were impacted.

Kamras added that they are working with external cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to understand the full scope of the incident.

RPS students and staff are expected to attend school as scheduled.

And so this is only going to impact students' learning, right? Students are going into the first day of school with the expectation that they're going to start with the rest of the The school system and in reality, this really pushes them to start way later.

Now, Superintendent Jason Kamras was at the town hall and that parent was addressing his comments directly to him.

What was the superintendent's response to all these parents? What did Jason Kamras say to these angry people?

Yeah.

I mean, he was clear about the limitations of the school district, their budget.

I mean, I feel like those could be two different reactions you might have to this choice that the referendum puts on you.

Exactly.

I'm just curious, what has been the administration's response to this push for more transparency, more accountability? What does Jason Kamras and other school leaders say when they get this response? you know, concern from parents at the town hall, at school board meetings, and really just in general about their lack of trust in RPS and RPS leadership.
