“According to an email to families whose kids attend Nantucket Public Schools, the district shut down its internet connections, as well as all devices issued to students and staff. “
““For this reason, our safety and security systems, including phones and security cameras, are also shut down,” Superintendent Beth Hallett wrote in the email. “
