“We will operate on a two-hour delayed start for students,” Manassas City Public Schools announced. “This means students will report to school two hours later than their normal time. Bus riders will report to bus stops two hours later than their normal time. There is NO SCHOOL FOR PRE-K.”
“Our internal IT team, working closely with outside cybersecurity experts, has made significant progress in restoring division systems after the recent cybersecurity incident,” Superintendent Dr. Kevin Newman stated. “We truly appreciate your patience, trust, and understanding as we worked to ensure our systems and campuses were ready for students and staff to return.”
The district’s reopening follows a two-day closure after a cybersecurity incident forced officials to cancel classes on Monday, November 10. Manassas City School Board Member Sara Brescia previously announced that “a cybersecurity incident is impacting MCPS operations,” adding that “students should prepare to return to class on Wednesday, November 12th unless informed otherwise.”
