STUDENT DATA EXPOSED: Parents eye city plan to give individual student records to private biz
Parents worry about privacy of children
“Is this even legal?”
That’s what officials, education advocates and parents are asking about the city’s plan to share their children’s confidential data with private corporations — and they’ve called a Town Hall meeting at Brooklyn Borough Hall Monday night, April 29 at 6 p.m., to find out more about the plan and what parents can do.
Representatives from the New York State Education Department, the New York City Department of Education, the Gates Foundation, inBloom Inc., and the Board of Regents have been invited to the meeeting.
