KETTERING — After further review, the ruling on the field is overturned. Sorry Kettering students, you will be having school the day after the Super Bowl.
“It just came to our attention that Mr. Alexander was hacked and a newsletter was sent out stating that we do not have school on February 14,” an email from Kettering schools sent late Monday read. “If this were true, it would come from the District, not from an individual principal. Fairmont High School WILL be in session on Monday, February 14.”

The district’s email was a follow-up to an email sent from Kettering Fairmont High School’s Principal Tyler Alexander’s email about 15 minutes before.
The “hacked” email was laced with grammatical and spelling errors when it was sent late Monday night.
“As you know, The Cincinnati Bengals hasn’t been to a Super Bowl in 3 decades and to commemorate this recent upcoming of The Bengals going, Kettering Schools has deciated to take Monday, February 14, 2022 off to have our students and staff go out and support Cincinannti in this great feat,” the email read.
The “hacked” email also mentioned several other school events in an apparent attempt to make the email believable.
“We have not identified who may have hacked into Mr. Alexander’s email account,” district spokeswoman Kari Basson said. “Our Technology team is looking into how this happened. At this time, no disciplinary action is planned, as we do not know who sent the bogus email.”
