"According to Paxton, PowerSchool's software collects, processes, and secures sensitive information that Texas schools require from parents enrolling their children and from their employees."
"PowerSchool's failures violate both the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act by misleading customers about its security practices and failing to take reasonable measures to protect sensitive information entrusted by Texas families and school districts."
