Seattle Schools Accidental Release of Student Data Update
The PI had an in-depth story today on the accidental disclosure of 7500+ student files to a guardian seeking to protect his sister's Sped rights. In the story, it was stated that the district had filed to go to court and force the guardian to destroy the files. This was puzzling to me as at least one reader said it HAD been done last week. There is an update today from the district saying this (partial): We received confirmation yesterday that the individual provided the court with certification that the documents have been deleted and the individual possesses no copies, electronic or otherwise . The court certification confirmed the documents were not distributed, electronically or as hard copy, to any other individual or party except for a KING 5 News reporter who was permitted to view the files on the individual’s computer. KING 5 has confirmed they did not keep copies of the data. But the questions continue.
