What happened
A proposed class action against PowerSchool Holdings, Inc. and PowerSchool Group, LLC, apparently concerning a customer data security breach. The case is pending as multidistrict litigation, and the allegations likely relate to the companies' handling of customer personal information.
Do you qualify?

How to file
There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
Common questions
- Can I file a claim in the PowerSchool Customer Data Breach Class Action case?
- No. This case has been filed and is still being litigated — there is no settlement, no claim form, and no payout. Many class actions are dismissed or never certified, so a case being filed does not mean anyone will be paid. If it settles and a claim process opens, that will be announced by a court-appointed settlement administrator.
- Where is the PowerSchool Customer Data Breach Class Action case being heard?
- The case is before the District Court, S.D. California, case number 3:25-md-03149. Everything alleged in the complaint is an allegation, not a proven fact.
