HAVERHILL  Police have warned school administrators that a former high 
school student may have been given access to a secure computer system with 
confidential information about students and teachers.

A secret police report submitted to Superintendent Raleigh Buchanan says 
an assistant principal, a teacher and a secretary at the high school 
complained to Principal Bernard Nangle that they had reason to believe the 
student was given a password to access the so-called X2 computer system, 
according to school officials who have read the report. The student 
graduated last month.

addresses and phone numbers for both students and faculty, school 
officials said.
