Howard Blume reports:

A cyberattack brought down the computer systems of the Los Angeles Unified School District over the weekend, but officials said late Monday night that schools would open as scheduled Tuesday morning.

The attack took the district’s website offline, eliminated access to email and reportedly affected systems that teachers use to post lessons and take attendance.

The district’s homepage contains a detailed statement about the attack and what is being done.
