Manassas City Public Schools in Virginia announced that all schools would be closed on Monday, November 10, 2025, after a cybersecurity incident disrupted phone and network systems across the district. According to statements from Superintendent Kevin Newman reported by WJLA and FOX 5, the breach was discovered over the weekend, more than 7,000 families were notified, and the district experienced significant connectivity and telephone outages while physical school security remained unaffected. Schools were already scheduled to be closed Tuesday for a holiday, and officials used the extended break to give IT staff time to investigate and restore systems so normal operations could resume on Wednesday.
