MT: Hellgate High Data Breach Reveals Confidential Student Information

Posted on December 8, 2015 by Dissent

Jon King reports:

Missoula County Public School District one is investigating why a bunch of private, confidential information about Hellgate students and one school staffer were sent to parents of Hellgate High School football players last Friday. The information included very sensitive details, including which students at school were failing classes, which students were seeking mental health counseling and even details about family-abuse cases.

Read more on KGVO. This appears to be a breach that occurred via an email from the high school’s assistant principal, but an investigation is underway to determine why and how it occurred.
