What we know
Kings River Union Elementary is an educational institution responsible for the instruction and administration of students within its district. As a school, the organization maintains sensitive records containing personally identifiable information for students, parents, and staff members, including academic, financial, and demographic data. In 2025, the district officially reported a data security incident to the California Attorney General, indicating that unauthorized parties may have accessed these protected records. If you have received a formal data breach notification letter from the school, it signifies that your personal information or that of your dependent was potentially compromised during this event. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity protection services being offered by the district.
