I sure hope this is not true.

Yep.  Read an article on this yesterday.  Downloaded the forms for exclusion and I'll get them out over the weekend.  This is overreach and an intrusion into every student's records, not just my kids.

THIS COURT’S ORDERS

 

On May 5, 2014, the Court issued a Protective Order that prevents any party from
disclosing confidential information acquired in the course of the lawsuit, including student
records, to anyone other than the parties, their attorneys and consultants, and the Court. None of
the information may be used outside the context of this lawsuit, and the parties are required to
either return or destroy the confidential records at the conclusion of the lawsuit. No student’s
identifying records will be disclosed to the public.

I am going to a Student Records Workshop tomorrow.  I am pretty sure this will be the hot topic.

how many stories have we heard of in recent years where someone had records of 10,000 people on a laptop, and that computer was then stolen? or what if there are pedophile hackers out there?

 

i have absolutely no confidence in our dependable state gov't that this info will be kept confidential.

[BaseballMom]

We have already posted an opt out for parents on our website.

does this apply only to public schools, BBM? haven't heard a peep about it at our school.

[BaseballMom]

Probably.  The original lawsuit is Special Ed related, so I would imagine it will be public schools only.

So is it the default that students are opted in?

At this point it is.  I really don't see how this is going to work.  I am thinking this will just be for special education students since this suit was brought by a parent advocate group.  Pretty crazy.

I don't see private schools giving access to their records.  Why would they?
