Spring Lake Park Schools to Reopen After Ransomware Disruption

Officials say buildings can operate safely with phones, security, climate and fire systems restored.

Overview

  • Spring Lake Park Schools will bring students back to class after a two-day closure tied to a suspected ransomware attack.
  • Core safety systems, including phones, door security, climate control and fire protection, are now online, allowing normal building operations.
  • District staff earlier shut down technology across the system to stop further access after detecting unauthorized entry into some networks.
  • Leaders report no evidence so far that personal information was affected as state investigators and the FBI examine the breach.
  • High school activities are planned to proceed, ACT testing has been moved, and Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments will be rescheduled as needed.
