The Federal Trade Commission has given final approval to its order against Illuminate Education, closing out a closely watched enforcement action arising from a data breach that exposed information tied to roughly 10.1 million students. For education companies and the schools that rely on them, the case is a sharp reminder that student-data security is now firmly in regulators’ crosshairs.

According to the FTC, Illuminate failed to reasonably secure sensitive student information, resulting in a breach with sweeping impact.

The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division has announced a federal grand jury indictment charging Jon Christopher Burt, Gerald Steven Lavender, and Jack Nelson Purvis Jr. in an alleged bid-rigging conspiracy involving sports equipment contracts for Mississippi public schools. The case is another reminder that criminal antitrust enforcement remains a live risk in public-procurement markets, including transactions that may appear routine or localized.

According to the DOJ’s announcement, the indictment centers on alleged collusion in the sale of sports equipment to school districts.
