San Antonio ISD warns staff of vendor data breach involving district data

Some San Antonio Independent School District employees may have been impacted by a “security incident” involving district data earlier this month, a district spokesperson told KSAT on Wednesday.

The district said one of its vendors, Frontline, “experienced a breach” that impacted people across the country. SAISD employees were notified about the breach on Oct. 6.

Employees who were impacted will receive a notification directly from Frontline.

The district emphasized no student records were involved in the breach.
