Individuals who received a notification from the school district should review its contents carefully.

What to do after the letter

  1. Confirm the notice is genuine

    A legitimate Gresham-Barlow School District notice references the specific incident reported to the OR Attorney General and describes which categories of your information were involved. Compare the letter against the public filing before acting on any links or phone numbers it contains.

  2. Keep the letter — it is your proof of connection

    The notification letter is the document that ties your personal information to this incident. Keep the original and photograph it. If you later request a case review, this letter is the strongest evidence that you were among the affected individuals.
