Can a cyberattack close a school?

Cyberattacks on schools can definitely cause closures by locking out access to systems, messing with scheduling, or stealing data. Ransomware and DDoS attacks have shut down schools before, turning education into a surprise holiday — but one nobody signed up for. The extent depends on the school's security setup and response speed. So yes, digital villains can make school disappear for a while, but not because they dislike algebra.
