Feb. 1—GROTON — Groton Public Schools experienced a district-wide internet outage on Thursday that is under investigation.
"Groton Public Schools was a victim of a cyber-attack on our main servers," Clint Kennedy, the school district's director of technology wrote in a message to the school community. "With the help of our technology advisors, we have identified where the attack came from and have ninety percent of our systems operational. We will continue to work through our disaster recovery process in conjunction with the local Police to investigate the situation. We will keep you informed as we learn more."
Superintendent of Schools Susan Austin said that the internet was 90% restored by the end of the day, and a team is working around the clock to get the issue completely resolved. She said the incident is under investigation and more information will be shared once school officials learn more.
In 2017, the Groton school district experienced another security issue when it was the victim of a phishing scam.

The former Washington state NAACP leader who sparked national outrage after being exposed as a white woman posing as Black was ousted from her Arizona teaching job this week because of her OnlyFans account.
Rachel Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2017, is “no longer employed” by the Catalina Foothills School District, a district spokesperson told The Daily Beast. Dolezal, who started working there in August, came under fire after reports that her OnlyFans page was listed on her public Instagram alongside links to her book, podcast, and Netflix documentary.
“Her posts are contrary to our district's ‘Use of Social Media by District Employees’ policy... and our staff ethics policy,” said the spokesperson, who said she was a “part-time after school extended day instructor” and a substitute teacher.
The Outkick reported that Dolezal, 46, worked at Sunrise Drive Elementary School, according to payroll records. Dolezal did not respond to a request for comment.

Her dismissal is the latest scandal for Dolezal, who made international headlines and became a national punchline after the 2014 revelation that she was falsely presenting herself as a Black woman while running the NAACP in Spokane and working as an African Studies professor. She admitted that she was “biologically born white to white parents, but I identify as Black.”
In 2018, she was accused of welfare fraud in a case she settled with Washington state. According to her Instagram, Dolezal also recently completed the University of Arizona’s Master Gardener program, which helps “university-trained volunteers” serve as “community educators.”
As previously reported by The Daily Beast, Dolezal launched her $9.99-a-month channel on OnlyFans in September 2021, promising fitness videos, “hair-chair” tutorials, and “foot pics.”
“Happy Valentine’s Day fans…I dropped a package of love in your DMS,” Dolezal wrote on her OnlyFans account on Wednesday afternoon. “There are two options: 18 pic collection or a video.”

In a move that a few saw coming, 2026 Ohio State wide receiver commit Chris Henry Jr. has transferred high schools.
After starting his career at Cincinnati’s Withrow High School, the 6-foot, 5-inch, 185-pound No. 1 ranked receiver according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings will finish his career at California powerhouse Mater Dei. It’s a big move in talent, as Henry’s new school is annually one of the top programs in the country and plays one of the tougher schedules across the nation.
The good news for the Buckeyes is that according to this report by 247Sports Bill Kurelic, Henry is still locked into his Ohio State commitment.
