Union County Public Schools says it’s among districts affected by a breach in the state’s student information system, which resulted in unauthorized access to student and teacher data.

Most North Carolina school districts use PowerSchool, including Union County, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and Gaston County.

New Trier said the data that was accessed included names and school ID numbers. No current students' Social Security numbers were accessed, but some former students' were.

PowerSchool, a major education software company, announced a security breach on Tuesday, possibly affecting schools across the nation with data leaks.

The educational software giant said it doesn’t anticipate any of the compromised information “being shared or made public,” as a review of the incident continues.
