(TNS) — Phone and Internet outages stretched into a third day at the Richland School District on Thursday, crippling information access for parents, students and teachers in the final days of the school year.

The district says its IT teams identified “unauthorized access” to some of its computer systems connected to its network this week.

“Out of an abundance of caution, our additional systems were taken offline,” staff wrote in a Wednesday message to families. “We are currently working with third-party forensic specialists to investigate the activity, confirm its impact on our systems, and to restore full functionality as soon as possible.”
