Clerk's notes
On October 12, 2026, the Austin Independent School District filed notice regarding a data security incident that originated on or about August 14, 2026. This report initiates a formal monitoring period for the incident, which impacts a significant educational and administrative entity within Texas.
The compromised data categories from the Austin Independent School District incident include Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Student ID Number, Parent or Guardian Information, Wage and Compensation Information, Home Address, and Direct Deposit Account Details.
