The district says it is still working to make sure phones and building security are working well after cyber attack.
SPRING LAKE PARK, Minn. — Spring Lake Park Schools has cancelled all classes for a second straight day as it works to restore critical systems following a suspected ransomware attack.
According to an initial release from the district on Sunday, an outside actor gained access to some school district systems and staff immediately shut down all systems to prevent further access. The response initially forced the cancellation of all classes, child care, community education and after school activities on Monday.
On Monday evening, the district released another statement announcing classes would be cancelled again on Tuesday, April 14:
Our team has been working night and day to restore our technology systems after the cybersecurity incident on Sunday. They have made significant progress. Right now, our top priority is making sure our safety systems are working well. This includes phones, building security, and other building operations. Before students and staff can return, we need time to test these systems and make sure they are safe and secure. Because of this, we cannot safely open our buildings yet.
We plan to have school on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, if progress continues as anticipated. We will share an update by mid-afternoon on Tuesday. We hope high school sports and activities can still take place Tuesday afternoon as planned.
