Fall River schools chief: Internet systems are 'business as usual' after cyberattack

The internal wireless network used by the Fall River Public Schools has been fully restored after a “cybersecurity incident” discovered on April 7 left students and staff without access to the internet.

 

At an April 29 meeting of the School Committee, Superintendent Tracy Curley said printers and student Chromebooks were back in service; staff had regained access to their email.

 

Educators, she said, had been printing handouts for their classes while they could not access digital lesson materials.

 

“We are getting back to business as usual,” Curley told members of the school board. “What we saw in schools was the instruction continuing. We saw people using the same resources, but planning for lessons that were not internet-based.”
