As part of their response, they are offering free credit monitoring services if an individual’s information was involved. For parents/guardians, this may include contact information.
To clarify, PowerSchool nor Howell Township Public Schools maintain social security numbers for students or guardians. However, PowerSchool has chosen to offer credit monitoring services regardless of whether Personally Identifiable Information (PII) was involved.
PowerSchool has confirmed that emails about this were sent. If you received this email, it is legitimate, and you may choose to enroll in the free credit monitoring service.
If you did not receive an email, then your information was not involved. If you believe you may have overlooked or deleted the email, you can call Experian at 833-918-9464 to check your eligibility.
This incident occurred on PowerSchool’s servers, not within Howell Township Public Schools. We do not have additional details beyond what PowerSchool has shared. If you have questions, please contact Experian directly using the information provided in their email.
Thank you.
