Oh please. She is wrong here. I don't see why you don't get it. Are you okay with a parent taking the private data of 35k kids and sharing it with ANYONE? She did that. I don't care what her website shows now.

I would prefer Callie to have my kids data than FCPS. I got a letter too. I want to know who else inadvertently got it that I have never ever been told about. Callie at least told all of us.

More Callie.

If this is her, I'm even more scared that she has all our data--she sounds nuts.

Everyone upset is demanding that FCPS increase the OT budget for better records management, right?

But please try to remember very few people care about your kid's learning issue. These are kids. Future employers aren't going care what Larlo was doing in 5th grade or what accommodations he needed to pass Calculus.

FCPS has a ton of private mental health information regarding my child, who has been in and out of psychiatric facilities. How can I see what Callie has posted.

You are absurd. There are many kids in FCPS--usually the ones with serious issues served by MAS--who have incredibly sensitive information in FCPS files. Information no one would want public.

Parents don't win in due process situations because of the circuit court we're in. It is rigged against us.

Yeah, I don't really understand the idea of a class action suit against FCPS--that's like suing ourselves as taxpayers.

The narcissism of this woman is shocking to me--she thinks she's 'shining a lot' on the problems for us when she's creating more problems for us. What makes her think she speaks for anyone else??? That her view represents ours.

Agreed. She has PII/learning issues with my kids name on it. To say that I'm angry would be plumbing the depths of understatement. It's as if she had an illegally obtained nude photo of a female relative published on her website but just cropped off the face. Callie, I hope you're reading this.

Your analogy is ridiculous. She did not obtain the information illegally. FCPS is at fault and their response to it was beyond terrible. It was managed by people who seemed to not understand the internet at all. It was entirely FCPS's fault.

Could someone please post a link to the data she published?

Hi Callie. No, I’m not going after FCPS. I’m not mad at them. I’m mad at YOU and I’m not the only one.

A note here - do not underestimate the distinct chance that all the anti-FCPS rants and mildly-pro Callie diversionary statements are coming from Callie and her friends.

You are full of shite. I'm in another county, don't know her but learned about her here. FCPS screwed up. She did not obtain the information illegally.

But Callie (and parents like her) who abuse school staff, have no trust or respect for school professionals, who use an FCPS mistake to gain leverage and publicity is appalling. Just know that FCPS employees deal with her and her kind on a regular basis. This is why people are afraid to work for the school system and are afraid to speak to parents.

Oh look, the FCPS employee who should be fired for passing on private information. The defense of FCPS in this case is sick.

We are where we are because a judge ruled Callie and that other woman can legally publish private medical records. There is no benefit to the public by making these private medical records public.

Callie is a horrible person for doing this and it’s insane we need to legislate common sense. But here we are.

Not true. What she did was criminal.

This is probably Callie or a friend/family of hers trying to misdirect.

Can someone lay out the barebones facts of what went on here. Some of us got letters and don't know why. Please just facts.

If you sue Callie, she’ll file for bankruptcy, we get no benefit, and this stuff keeps happening. FCPS cares nothing about privacy of data. If they did, they would have spent the money on it last time this happened.

This. If you read FCPS response to this, it was unprofessional and bizarre.

She kept the information illegally.
She shared the information illegally with others.
