Investigation notes
Fowler Elementary School District #45 is an educational institution responsible for the administration of primary schooling services for students within its jurisdiction. As an educational entity, the district maintains sensitive records containing personally identifiable information for students, parents, and staff members, including academic, financial, and demographic data. This security incident was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to certain records occurred.

We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific nature of the exposure and the protective measures being offered to affected individuals.
