Wall Street Journal: Hackers Target Nation's Schools

Everyone EXCEPT CUSD is backing away from collecting Social and Emotional Data in Public Schools.

This type of data should be protected by HIPPA and should never be for sale to 3rd party vendors!

CUSD's "LOCAL" DASHBOARD - Just Say NO THANK YOU!

The Capistrano Unified School District in Orange County California is doing this. In addition to California's State Dashboard, CUSD has developed its own "local Dashboard" specifically designed to capture social and emotional data on every student in the District, because it does not allow students to "Opt Out".

The work they are doing is getting so close to HIPPA Violations it is scary.

I believe this was all initiated by an ex-Trustee Lynn Hatton-Hodson who owns a company called InnovateEd that was partners in Systems Leadership Collaborative and LCAPca. She resigned under Conflict of Interest Allegations.

But- CUSD is marching forward with the data collection that has been put in place. I have have stood before that board many time and expressed my concern about the Collection of personally identifiable information on EVERY student with no ability to OPT OUT

See: See May 17, 2017 Board Workshop (which they do not record) Agenda Item #1 District Dashboard

Yellow: Social Emotional Indicators
Blue: Academic Indicators

See also CUSD's "Application to Conduct Research" where they sell that data to any interested party. http://capousd.ca.schoolloop.c...

The BIGGEST CONCERN...

Sharing student data with 3rd Party Service Providers!
