A cyber attack in late 2024 exposed names, dates of birth, student identification numbers and Medicaid identification numbers, but not Social Security numbers or financial information, of current and former students.

A technology vendor for Chicago Public Schools was the victim of a cyberattack late last year on a server used to store current and former student data, according to a CPS letter to family and staff.

The launch of the Black Student Success Plan by Chicago Public Schools in February marked another step that the district says shows its commitment to eliminating “opportunity gaps and ensuring Black students have the support needed” to succeed.
