A statement on North Penn School District’s web site says:

The North Penn School District is working with the Towamencin Township Police Department as it investigates a student accused of hacking into NPSD’s computer network. School officials discovered the situation early this week and then turned the investigation over to police. Computer devices are being analyzed to ascertain what information may have been accessed. Because it is an ongoing police and student discipline matter, no further information is available at this time.

And that’s all we know so far.
