A public school in northeast Nebraska dismissed students early on Tuesday as the result of a recent cyber attack.
Winnebago Public Schools announced in a social media post that there was a recent cyber attack on the school’s system.
As a result, the school planned to dismiss students at 1 p.m. on Tuesday and no school was planned for Wednesday, Oct. 23.
“There has been a cyber-attack on the system at Winnebago Public Schools,” Superintendent Kamau Turner wrote in a post on Monday. “We are currently working through the breach, and trying to get our system back to full operation. Please be patient with us as we may have some services (phone, internet, etc.) shut down periodically. We have a great team of people navigating WPS through the event.”
Further details on the cyber attack were not provided.
The post stated that conferences were still planned at the school for Thursday, Oct. 22 from 2-6 p.m.
