SC High School Experiences Third Computer Theft (3 January 2007)

A laptop computer was stolen from a guidance counselor's office at the Academic Magnet High School in North Charleston, South Carolina over the school holiday. The computer holds personally identifiable information of approximately 500 students. School officials have been trying to reassure concerned parents and students by telling them the information is password-protected and encrypted. This is the third computer theft at the school this academic year. The other thefts - three monitors and two laptops from the school's media center and another laptop from the same guidance counselor's office - occurred in November 2006. Police are investigating.
