This is not how property law works nor how freedom of speech works. If you accidentally walk off with something that is not yours, it does not become yours. And freedom of speech does not change these basic principles. One's right to speak one's mind does not encompass the right to steal. And playing fast and loose with other children's privacy to muddy up FCPS was never necessary for her to expose her concern. She could have deleted or returned any information and then let everyone know about the privacy breach without actually using the information. For sure, FCPS made a mistake here because they don't have the budget to have corporate-level security, but what she did was intentional and irresponsible. There is no equivalency.

Oh how wrong you are. Do you even know the history on this?

Callie strikes again. Trolling the boards to make sure people are told incorrect info so she doesn't get sued. LOL.

I’m not Callie. I think you’re paranoid.

Don’t have the budget? They absolutely do have the budget and more than many many many companies that have industry standard compliance protections. To say they don’t have budget is not accurate. To say FCPS doesn’t allocate money to security practices, that may or may not case but not that there is not money to do so.

There is only so much money and like all budgets, there are priorities. Do you want to prioritize teacher pay, more staff, more special education funds? Or hire a bunch more people to protect against crazies like Callie and Deb who are on a mission to bring down FCPS?

Also, eliminating paper records would help. Currently sped staff has to keep written records of sped files. The online file is not enough. Written signatures/consent could be uploaded and stored virtually instead of stored on paper at schools.
