Education // North Carolina, United States

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools notified individuals who applied for positions in the district that their personal information was inappropriately shared with a contractor. The information was cataloged for an online database of potential new employees.

School officials say the data was not used maliciously and the contractor has agreed to destroy the information. 

The personal data that was exchanged includes applicant names, addresses, and Social Security numbers.
