Profile
Tuloso Midway Independent School District is a public school district located in Texas, United States, functioning as an independent school district to provide educational services to students. The district operates schools and administers academic programs in accordance with state education regulations, delivering classroom instruction, student support services, and extracurricular activities. Its establishment as an independent school district signifies a specific governmental structure for public education within Texas, though precise details such as enrollment numbers, count of campuses, or the exact geographic area served are not disclosed in the available incident records. The district's primary role is to facilitate learning and development for the student population under its jurisdiction, adhering to standards set by the Texas Education Agency and other relevant authorities.
The district's operational history includes two documented data security incidents occurring in March 2022. The first incident, reported on March 1, 2022, involved a breach compromising the sensitive information of 637 individuals, with exposed data elements including names, Social Security numbers, and financial details. This event was formally reported to the Texas Attorney General's Office, and affected consumers received written notifications, though public details regarding the breach's specific cause or method were not released. The second incident, on March 16, 2022, centered on unauthorized access to an employee's email account, potentially impacting 2,311 residents. A subsequent state filing indicated a broader scope of exposure than initially suggested, encompassing Social Security numbers, government-issued identification, financial information, medical records, and health insurance data. The district consistently stated that it could not confirm whether any data was actually extracted or misused beyond the potential for access. Notably, the March incident did not involve student data according to the district's assessment. These events represent confirmed cybersecurity occurrences that required regulatory reporting and consumer notification, highlighting specific vulnerabilities in the district's data protection measures during that period.
