from the Los Angeles Unified School District, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho joined White House officials in calling for improved cybersecurity at K-12 schools across the nation.

In the 2022 to to 2023 academic year alone, at least eight K-12 school districts fell victim to cyberattacks, four of which prompted schools to temporarily close doors or cancel classes. “This signals to the nation the administration’s awareness and proactive leadership in acknowledging this issue is a risk to national security at all levels,” said Carvalho, at a Monday press conference. “This is the first time in my tenure as superintendent which now is sixteen and a half years that I have seen this synergistic coming together of all parties rallying around policy, practice, information, knowledge and financial support for cybersecurity.
