The hackers have not identified themselves, but the district believes“At the present time, no decisions have been made,” Nickle said. “Nobody wants to pay a ransom. The investigation is ongoing, and we’re looking into all of our options.”The district experienced a “network disruption” that lasted a few hours on Thursday.
