Allentown School District

Allentown School District, also known as Allentown City School District or ASD, is a public school district located in Allentown, Pennsylvania, United States. The district provides kindergarten through twelfth grade education to students residing within the city limits and surrounding communities. It offers a range of instructional programs, including general academic courses, special education services, and extracurricular activities such as athletics and the arts. To support contemporary learning preferences, the district maintains a virtual learning platform that enables remote and hybrid instruction for students and teachers. The district collaborates with various educational technology vendors to supply digital curriculum, assessment tools, and online resources.

The district is governed by an elected school board and operates under the regulatory framework set by the Pennsylvania Department of Education. It emphasizes equitable access to quality education and has pursued initiatives aimed at reducing achievement gaps among its diverse student population. In May 2025 the district reported a cyberattack on its virtual learning vendor, EdforTech Alliance, which disrupted the Virtual Campus platform and prevented students from accessing online lessons on a Friday. Officials confirmed that student data remained secure and directed learners to record attendance and complete assignments through the Smart Futures system while teachers remained available via Zoom for instructional support. The vendor indicated it was working to restore services promptly, and the district pledged to communicate updates to families and staff through email as the situation evolved.
