Reporter the data is being turned over because of a lawsuit won by the concerned Parents Association, a group that wants to find out if disabled students have been treated properly in california schools. A noble effort, perhaps, but one that has privacy advocates concerned about the safety of the data. A lot of that information could be used to commit Identity Theft if it gets into the wrong hands. Reporter information from an especially Vulnerable Group because kids dont monitor their personal data anywhere near as closely as adults. I spoke to the lawyer of the parent association, who took pains to say they dont want any of the private data. They just want to make sure children are getting equal access to education.
