The School District of Newberry County was recently notified by Frontline Education, a third-party service provider the district uses, of a cybersecurity incident involving Frontline’s systems. The incident affected several other South Carolina school districts statewide. To be clear, the district has not experienced a cybersecurity incident.
According to information from Frontline, the incident resulted from a vulnerability in a third-party software product used by Frontline that allowed unauthorized access to part of its environment. The incident occurred within Frontline’s systems and was not the result of a cybersecurity breach of the School District of Newberry County’s network or systems.
Frontline identified the following types of personal information that were impacted for 355 employees: Social Security number, email address, and mailing address. Frontline has stated that it is not aware of any misuse of the information as a result of the incident.
The district takes the privacy and security of student information seriously and is currently working with Frontline, the S.C. Law Enforcement Division, and the district’s legal counsel to review the incident, its impact on our students and families, and the appropriate next steps.
Frontline has indicated it will notify affected individuals in accordance with the law and offer identity protection services at no cost, including appropriate monitoring services for minors. We will provide additional information about those resources directly to affected individuals.
We understand that incidents involving personal information can create concern for families. The School District of Newberry County will continue working with Frontline and legal counsel to ensure stakeholders receive accurate, timely information as it becomes available.
Individuals with questions may contact Frontline directly at 1-833-516-8792.

Congratulations to Amelia Wainwright, our Newberry Middle School Student-Athlete of the Week! 🐯💜💛
Amelia is in her first year on the NMS Swim Team, and she has worked incredibly hard to improve her strength and technique. At last Thursday’s meet, she cut approximately seven seconds off one of her events—a tremendous accomplishment!
Amelia competes in freestyle and backstroke, but her impact goes far beyond the pool. She is a respectful, kind, and encouraging teammate who cheers for everyone, helps set up and break down meet equipment, and is always willing to lend a hand.
She is also maintaining an A in all of her classes! 📚👏
Amelia has been named NMS August Student of the Month for two consecutive years and was also recognized as a Super-Sonic Student of the Week, sponsored by Sonic, during the 2026–27 school year.
Coach Leslie and I are SO proud of Amelia and all that she represents—hard work, character, kindness, teamwork, and excellence!
Congratulations, Amelia Wainwright! Keep shining and keep working hard! 🌟🏊♀️
