In an email to parents, Antunes apologized for closing school. "In an effort to minimize damage to the organization, we believe this is the best course of action," Antunes wrote, adding that the nature of the incident and the "instability" of the system would not allow the schools to operate virtually. The superintendent said the school district was cooperating with local and federal law enforcement agencies investigating the incident. Law enforcement, including the FBI, recommended that the district shut down the system. On Monday, the superintendent said Chromebooks given to students were not affected and students could use them. She also said that while staff email was not affected, voicemail was not working Monday.
