To whom it may concern,

I am writing today regarding the above referenced open records request with the OSDE for the following records:

"A list of all schools or school districts in Oklahoma that have been victims of ransomware attacks in 2021 through July 31st. If possible, I'd like the school/district name, date of attack and the ransomware strain involved."

Unfortunately, this information is not collected at the State level and would therefore need to be requested from individual districts. Your request 21-242 will be closed at this time.
