You have no respect because all you do is hate on educators, sue, file complaints, and steer qualified professionals from the county.

Clearly- plenty of people find this “advocating” vile. Thank you parents for speaking up against Callie!

I'm the parent from another county trying to follow what is going on here. Any person who attacks advocates who help families with children with disabilities is surely a school lackey and a lout. My kid, and many others, would have gotten no help at all if it weren't for advocates I had to hire. I thank heavens that I was able to afford it.

I'm sorry but I'm a parent of two children with disabilities and I do NOT find her work helpful. She does not speak for me, I don't trust her, I don't view her as a help. And now she has my kids' data and has shared it with others and told everyone she has it.

I received my letter yesterday. FCPS would not tell me anything and read me the letter when I called. Google was much more forthcoming.
When I saw this woman’s website and the fact that she not only posted redacted information but a video SHOWING HOW TO UNREDACT hidden information I almost threw up. I’m not a litigious person, but I am ready to sue her.

It's gone and buried.

Nothing ever really leaves the internet. Surely, a DCUM sleuth can find it.

The Way Back Machine is your friend.

But she didn't not posts kids info so nothing to find.

Somewhere buried deep in the FCPS budget is the cost for every “FCPS did nothing wrong or maybe did something wrong but it’s not our fault” post to take the heat off themselves and blame Callie because they have no clue how to handle sensitive data.

Can someone answer to me how a special ed teacher or administrator at one school has access to student data from dozens of schools county-wide? And if it’s paper, are they making copies and sharing it amongst every school?

DP: I can't even make my way through her website without collapsing in compassion for all of those who had to deal with her.

What I want to know is what did she share with the journalist of the 74million article that they had all these photos of files:
https://www.the74million.org/article/exclusive-virginias-fairfax-schools-expose-thousands-of-sensitive-student-records/ and could share specific examples of the types of things?

Also, on her website she shares things like email texts that include teachers names and schools names and enough information so that you can piece together who those kids are fairly easily--like the Silverbrook AAP email. So FCPS is at fault for FERPA compliance among teachers, but here she is sharing the actual info more widely and drawing attention to it so that everyone there knows what she's talking about.

Just awful.

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.

Nope. That is not what the court ruling said.

But it might work out differently for a class action civil suit by parents. Because what she did was wrong.

Cite the ruling, otherwise you’re lying.

Honestly the Virginia state laws need changed so that people like her are not being given this information. You shouldn't be able to request information like this. It's a waste of FCPS resources to redact thousands of pages nonstop.

she requested data about her own children- FCPS refused for years and then were court-ordered to give it to her. FCPS gave her way more than her own kids data.

I believe the whistleblower theory.

Also, this is all FCPS' fault. Don't fall for the distraction.

Nope. That would be civil. Not criminal.

Read between the lines --she went in and copied it tons of kids' info, but "oh I didn't know I was doing it?"

"I did not contact FCPS immediately because I knew FCPS would try to hide it." Hmm, she couldn't make a record elsewhere and report it and still let FCPS know the breach of data/??
and then "I contacted a journalist I trust" So because SHE trusts a journalist, she shares our kids' information with them???

Her update makes me even angrier than before.

I think your rage is mis-directed.
