Springfield police will take the lead in investigating the leak of confidential student data from the Capitol College Preparatory Academy.
The Springfield school board voted Monday night to seek an outside investigation into whether state and federal laws were broken when student names and standardized test scores were released to members of the public and the press.
District 186 officials had also planned to consult with the FBI, but deputy Springfield police chief Cliff Buscher says the city will take charge for now… and will call in the feds as needed.
Investigators spent the day Tuesday reviewing records and interviewing staff at the school district’s administrative offices.
