KIPP DC Data Incident

Notice of Data Incident
June 26, 2026

On September 23, 2025, KIPP DC became aware that information on our network may have been accessed by an unauthorized individual. Therefore, we immediately began an investigation, which included working with third-party forensic specialists. The investigation determined there was unauthorized access to a portion of our network between August 8, 2025, and August 24, 2025. Thereafter, we engaged with third-party discovery specialists to conduct a thorough review of the impacted portion of our network in order to determine the information contained therein and to whom it related. This process was completed on April 7, 2026. The type of information potentially impacted varies by individual but may include first and last name together with one or more of the following: Social Security number, driver’s license/state ID number, date of birth, financial information, medical information, and health insurance information.

In response to this incident, we notified federal law enforcement. We are also providing individuals access to credit monitoring and identity protection services as an added precaution. If you have questions about this incident or would like to enroll in the credit monitoring and identity protection services, individuals should contact KIPP DC’s dedicated assistance line at [call center number] from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday, excluding major U.S. holidays.

In general, we encourage individuals to remain vigilant against incidents of identity theft and fraud by reviewing credit reports/account statements and explanation of benefits forms for suspicious activity and to detect errors. Under U.S. law, individuals are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus, TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. To order your free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call 1-877-322-8228.

Individuals have the right to place an initial or extended fraud alert on a credit file at no cost. If individuals are a victim of identity theft, they are entitled to an extended fraud alert lasting seven years. As an alternative to a fraud alert, they have the right to place a credit freeze on a credit report. The credit freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services from being approved without consent. Pursuant to federal law, individuals cannot be charged to place or lift a credit freeze on your credit report.

Should you wish to place a fraud alert or credit freeze, please contact the three major credit reporting bureaus listed below:

You can further educate yourself regarding identity theft, fraud alerts, credit freezes and the steps you can take to protect your personal information by contacting the credit reporting bureaus, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or your state Attorney General. The FTC also encourages those who discover that their information has been misused to file a complaint with them. The FTC may be reached at 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, D.C. 20580; www.identitytheft.gov; 1-877-ID-THEFT (1-877-438-4338); and TTY: 1-866-653-4261.
