School districts like Jefferson County School District 509J handle vast amounts of sensitive personal information for students, parents, and employees. The exposure of this type of data can create serious, long-lasting risks. For children, identity theft might not be discovered until they apply for college or employment years from now.

Educational institutions are legally obligated to safeguard the personal information they collect.
