Upshur County Schools is aware of a lawsuit that has been filed involving Curriculum Associates and Instructure. At this time, the district is not a party to the lawsuit.
When selecting instructional technology vendors, Upshur County Schools conducts thorough due diligence to review data privacy, cybersecurity, and compliance with applicable state and federal student data protection laws. Based on that review, and consistent with our ongoing monitoring practices, we have seen no evidence that would alter our initial data security and privacy assessments.
Both companies have informed the district that the claims outlined in the lawsuit are without merit and that they intend to defend them accordingly. We will continue to closely monitor developments and maintain direct communication with our vendors regarding data protection obligations.
Protecting student data and privacy remains a top priority for Upshur County Schools. We will continue to actively oversee vendor compliance and take appropriate action if any company is found to have violated the terms of its agreements or applicable laws. Should such a situation arise, the district will advocate for our students every step of the way.

🎓📘 BUHS Juniors Boost SAT Readiness! 📘🎓
On March 18–19, BUHS juniors participated in a Mastery Prep SAT Bootcamp, gaining valuable strategies for both the Reading/Writing and Math sections of the SAT. Students worked through a test prep workbook alongside a certified SAT prep trainer, learning tips, techniques, and confidence-building approaches to help them succeed on test day.
This marks the second year BUHS has partnered with Mastery Prep. Feedback from last year’s juniors showed the bootcamp provided helpful tools that supported their SAT performance. We’re hopeful this year’s students will see the same success!
👏 Great work to our juniors for putting in the effort and preparing for what’s next!
