Education Data

In December, hundreds of thousands of K-12 students’ and staff’s personal information at Idaho schools was compromised in a cybersecurity breach. School Districts in the state are still figuring out the scope of it.

Idaho Education News is investigating a $3.5 million dollar state contract to create a "data dashboard" so parents and teachers could see everything from how their kids are doing in school to how the pandemic has effected their education.

Idaho Ed News senior reporter Kevin Richert joins us to talk more about this story.
