THE Cherry Creek School District told families that some students had received a notice about a class action settlement tied to a 2024 data breach involving the web-based education platform Naviance, and that the district’s message confirmed the email was legitimate while stating the district itself did not experience a data breach. According to the district, it has not received any notice of a security incident affecting its systems or student data related to this matter.
The class action settlement would benefit a nationwide class of individuals who, while a student, logged into Naviance at least once from 18 August 2021 through 23 January 2026, with the settlement reportedly impacting about 10 million students across the United States. The district noted it was not involved in the litigation and did not provide student contact information as part of the settlement process.
The report raises questions about how students were notified and whether notifications came from the official settlement fund, and whether the district should have been notified if students were affected by the breach.
