OPELOUSAS, LA – On July 26, 2023, the St. Landry School Board became aware of a threat against its
computer network. Although servers on our network were compromised, we can report that our student and
employee information systems are hosted on an outside network. The School Board reported the matter to
the authorities and is working with the Louisiana State Police Cyber Crime Unit, which is now conducting
a law enforcement investigation into the matter.
Once the investigation is complete, the School Board will notify all appropriate parties about the scope and
impact of the incident. Until then, the School Board will refrain from further comment so as to protect the
integrity of the Cyber Crime Unit’s investigation.
