The district contacted the Rhode Island State Police, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security last week.

Providence School Board President Erlin Rogel said the said the board received a presentation on the district’s recent network security breach. The presentation was given by the state Department of Education and the Providence Public School Department.

The School Board announced that the district experienced a “network security breach,” a week after the state-run school district said it detected “irregular activity,” that prompted them to shut it down.

The School Board announced it would meet in executive session Wednesday night to discuss the “breach” and what “steps are being taken to resolve it.”
