Allen ISD has not seen "any credible evidence" that personal information was accessed when it suffered a data breach last week, the district says.

In the email sent to parents and staff on Thursday, Allen ISD said several systems including WiFi, printers, and phones had experienced an outage. A full investigation was conducted immediately and any information concerning the privacy of parents and staff would be reported.

Since then WiFi and phone systems were reinstated but the technology department was still working on the remaining systems such as printers and the GPS system used by the transportation department.
