The shutdown left many of LAUSD’s 27,000 teachers and administrators to fend for themselves in the classroom without several critical and basic systems — from email, to student records, to instructional files.
Don Luong, an eighth grade history teacher at Gage Middle School in Huntington Park, wondered if his students noticed he was winging it on Tuesday.
Lemus felt his students could tell. While his English classes were reading a novel and working with paper-and-pencil materials on Tuesday, the outage in Google Drive over the weekend left him without a slideshow he’d been hoping to use during his history classes. “I woke up extra early, I got here at 7 a.m. to make sure that I had an hour of prep time to get the lessons going and [fulfill the district’s] promise of, ‘We're going to have this up and running, Tuesday’s going to be an instructional day.’” Lemus said. “That did not happen.”Cyberattacks on education institutions have become commonplace.
Two major factors have made school districts such lucrative targets. First, schools are “filled with teachers who are not IT professionals but still have to interact with systems all day — which makes them easier targets,” Bischoff said.
