Message to families regarding legal notice students received concerning  PowerSchool/Naviance class action legal settlement

Dear Families:

We are writing to provide additional context after some members of our school community received an e-mail from Kroll Settlement Administration concerning a federal class action lawsuit and proposed class action legal settlement involving the Naviance platform.

Naviance is an online platform that schools throughout the country use for college and career planning. Naviance is owned by PowerSchool.

The District used the Naviance platform for multiple years through the 2023-2024 school year. The District now uses SchooLinks as its online platform for college and career planning (https://www.schoolinks.com/).

What is the lawsuit/legal settlement about?

There was a class action lawsuit filed against PowerSchool alleging that PowerSchool violated students’ privacy rights while students were using the Naviance Platform between August 2021 and January 2026. PowerSchool firmly denies the allegations in the lawsuit and that it violated the law in any way. PowerSchool has agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the expense and uncertainty of ongoing litigation.

Was there a breach or unauthorized disclosure of student data?

There has been no confirmed breach or unauthorized disclosure of student data. PowerSchool firmly denies that it violated the law in any way.

Why am I being contacted?

Students who logged into the Naviance platform at least once between August 18, 2021, and January 23, 2026 are being contacted by e-mail to inform them that they may be eligible to join the proposed class action legal settlement. The e-mail was sent as part of a legally required notification process. The purpose of the e-mail is to ensure that students and families have the opportunity to review the settlement agreement and their legal rights and options.

Is the District involved in the lawsuit?

No. The District is not a party to the lawsuit and has no involvement in the legal proceedings or the proposed class action legal settlement. The District has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

What should families do?

If you or your child received an e-mail notice, you should review the notice carefully, as it outlines potential eligibility, deadlines, and options available to you and your child. The District cannot provide legal advice or recommend whether students are eligible to or should participate in the settlement. This is a personal decision for each family.
