Data Breach at Westland Middle School Releases Student Locker Combinations

Information technology professionals are trying to determine today how students were able to access a secured computer file at Bethesda’s Westland Middle School and distribute the names, locker numbers and locker combinations for that school’s 1,400 lockers.

    Did you see the news from today 4/1? A bullet was found inside Roberto Clemente Middle School and a notice was emailed to all parents with very little information other than it was reported to police and they are investigating it. Well, we all know how their "investigations" go (swept under the rug).

    Does this mean a child brought a gun to school too? Who Found the bullet? What happened? How are our kids safe? Is security going to be beefed up?

    With all too many reports of school shootings, I expect more from this but RCMS will do whatever they can to make this go away.

      No one knows! We as a community do not get details although it pertains to our children. I agree with Anonymous 11:14, it will go away fast and we will know nothing more.
