pretty funny stuff, from the original article:
Though no private information was clearly visible nor searchable on any of the web pages, the newspaper found that teachers’ Social Security numbers were contained in the HTML source code of the pages involved.
IN THE HTML SOURCE CODE!!!!
The publication also gave them advanced notice:
The newspaper delayed publishing this report to give the department time to take steps to protect teachers’ private information, and to allow the state to ensure no other agencies’ web applications contained similar vulnerabilities.
It is becoming clear that old folks like this need some basic internet literacy if they're going to accuse reporters of "hacking" because they looked at the source.
