We have an incredible team of educators here at the Fayette County School Corporation and it just keeps getting stronger. On Tuesday night, the FCSC School Board approved the hire of Mr. Andy Stover as Chief Operating Officer beginning this summer. Mr. Stover will replace the wonderful Mr. Randy Harris who has done an awesome job in his role and is retiring at the end of the school year.
Mr. Stover has most recently served as the Superintendent with our friends to the north, Western Wayne. During his four years leading the Western Wayne School Corporation, he has served as Board President of Whitewater Career Center, Board Member of East Central Special Services, and Board Chair of the Wayne County Boys and Girls Club. He has brought innovative thinking, chased creative funding sources, and provided great opportunities for kids to grow and thrive. Prior to Western Wayne, Mr. Stover served as an Assistant Superintendent of the Randolph Eastern School Corporation.
We are so excited work alongside Mr. Stover to make the Spartan community even stronger.

PowerSchool Data Breach Update
Dear families and educators of the Fayette County School Corporation community,
As we previously communicated, PowerSchool – a cloud-based software vendor used by the Fayette County School Corporation – recently experienced a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to certain information in the PowerSchool Student Information System (SIS). PowerSchool serves thousands of school districts across the globe and the impact is widespread. The Fayette County School Corporation could not have prevented this incident locally.
We are reaching out to share more information and next steps that we recently received directly from PowerSchool:
• Identity Protection and Credit Monitoring Services: PowerSchool has engaged Experian, a trusted credit reporting agency, to offer two years of complimentary identity protection services for all students and educators whose information from our PowerSchool SIS was involved. This offer will also include two years of complimentary credit monitoring services for all adult students and educators whose information
was involved.
• Notification to Individuals Involved: Starting in the next few weeks, in collaboration with Experian, PowerSchool will provide notice to students (or their parents / guardians if the student is under 18) and educators whose information was involved, as well as a phone number to answer any questions you may have about the incident. The notice will include the identity protection and credit monitoring services offer (as applicable).
• As soon as PowerSchool learned of the incident, they engaged cybersecurity response protocols and mobilized senior leadership and third-party cybersecurity experts to conduct a forensic investigation of the scope of the incident and to monitor for signs of information misuse. PowerSchool is not aware of any identity theft attributable to this incident.
In the meantime, I encourage you to visit https://www.powerschool.com/security/sis-incident/ for up-to-date information on the cybersecurity incident. We care deeply about the welfare of our Spartan families and will continue to do everything we can to support you.
Thank you for the important role you play in our community and your shared commitment to putting our students first.
Respectfully,
Jeremy Duncan
Fayette County School Corporation Superintendent
