Possible cyber incident disrupts Monroe schools in Wisconsin

A possible network security issue forced the School District of Monroe in Wisconsin to disconnect internet connections, causing student computers to power down, phone service to fail, and a scheduled ACT testing session to be canceled. Classes continued despite the disruption. The district took the action to contain the potential threat.

Why it matters: K-12 school administrators and IT staff need to assess whether similar network isolation procedures are in place and whether backup communication and testing protocols can withstand extended outages.
