PowerSchool, the cloud platform provider providing services to school boards across Canada & the US has confirmed that even though a ransom has been paid to the cybercriminals holding the data ransom & received assurances that the data was destroyed, the criminals have returned demanding for more money as they have not actually destroyed the data.
This unfortunately highlights the biggest risk when it comes to paying ransom for data destruction, threat actors can always come back demanding for more once they realize exactly how valuable the data is.

Toronto District School Board (TDSB) proposes closing pools and cutting music instructors (aka certified teachers) to make a $70M budget short fall.
The province has reduced per student funding by $1300/student/year since Doug Ford came into power, not accounting for inflation.

the Ontario government is looking for ways to take over the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto Catholic District School Board... gee, i wonder why they target us /s

The Toronto District School Board, [...], said in January that the addresses, health card numbers, emergency contacts and some medical information of more than 1.49 million students may have been stolen.
presumably this links the names of children to their addresses
PowerSchool was aware as of Dec 28
The federal watchdog knew about it on Jan 20
I learned about it 47 days after PowerSchool knew about it; I hope the parents were notified sooner than this.

Toronto District School Board says police notified after school testing system was targeted in #ransomware attack #tdsb
I know being a teacher is a tough job, one that I definitely couldn't do. But this teacher response to my kid's written work, with at least two grammar errors and two spelling mistakes in two sentences, is just embarrassing.
