The Watertown City School District within 10 days should bounce back to full recovery from a malware attack that destroyed its servers, according to the superintendent.

Patricia B. LaBarr said the servers have been rebuilt and returned last week, email will be available again to staff once they receive temporary passwords to log in, and she now has access to her email and files.
Practically all systems and functions should be back online in 10 days, she said, with the ability for students to log in to school computers before school starts Sept. 5.

“We are actually still in recovery mode, but things are progressing rather nicely,” she said “We’re very fortunate, all things considered.”
