School Districts Unaware BoardDocs Software Published Their Private Files

Posted on June 12, 2025 by Dissent

Mark Keierleber has an interesting and concerning update on the BoardDocs breach previously reported by DataBreaches on June 1:

BoardDocs, a software tool used by thousands of school boards to track meeting minutes and store confidential information, has suffered a data breach affecting districts nationally, The 74 has learned. Records at the center of the breach include confidential files protected by attorney-client privilege and other sensitive data that school leaders intended to keep under wraps.

BoardDocs parent company Diligent Corporation acknowledged Tuesday the breach was national in scope only after reporting by The 74 confirmed its customers across the country were affected. The BoardDocs software, which allows school boards to disseminate agendas and other public documents to their communities while keeping other records private, is used by some 5,000 public sector entities in the U.S. and Canada, primarily public schools.

[…]

Multiple additional school districts that contract with BoardDocs, however, said they were unaware of the incident until they were contacted this week by The 74 and, in several instances, received confirmation of the breach from Diligent only after they reached out to the company directly to inquire about whether their own confidential records had been compromised.
