MCCSC says Canvas access is back

The Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs’ Indiana Connectivity Program just awarded $550,108 in its latest round of awards to eligible Hoosiers for high-speed internet access.

Canvas access has returned to the Monroe County Community School Corporation, according to an announcement Monday afternoon.

Hackers brought down the widely used platform last week in a ransomware attack affecting thousands of schools and universities.

"We have verified that Canvas is now safe and available for use," the announcement said. "As a reminder, some features may not be fully operational, because we will be restoring Canvas functionality in stages. We anticipate that functionality such as grade passback to Skyward will be restored by Wednesday. Teachers will offer flexibility for student assignments and grading."

WFIU/WTIU News is an independent newsroom rooted in public service.

“Act Independently” is one of the basic creeds of journalism ethics, and we claim it proudly. The WFIU/WTIU News facilities are located on the campus of Indiana University, which does hold our broadcast license and contribute funding to our organization. However, our journalists and senior news leaders have full authority over journalistic decisions — what we decide to cover and how we tell our stories. We observe a clear boundary: Indiana University and RTVS administrators focus on running a strong and secure organization; WFIU/WTIU journalists focus on bringing you independent news you can trust.
