It’s tax deductible too! More money I don’t have to give to fcps not to protect my kids data. |

So I did a little digging around on this, and here is what I found (apologize that it is so long) Special Education Action Incorporated (Entity ID 11354161) is incorporated as a Virginia Nonstock [Non-Profit] Corporation. All corporate documents are publicly available on the website of the State Corporation Commission: https://cis.scc.virginia.gov/EntitySearch/Index Special Education Action Incorporated is registered as being exempt from federal income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) / 509(a)(2) (Special Education Action Incorporated: EIN 88-1475436): https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/ In return for being tax exempt and receiving tax deductible contributions, Congress requires Section 501(c)(3) organizations to disclose information about their organization to the public. The requested information should be made available within two weeks (if the organization has no office or has limited hours). If someone asks for copies to keep, the organization has to provide them, regardless whether the request is made in person or in writing. https://www.stayexempt.irs.gov/se/files/downloads/Required_Disclosures_Print_for_PDF.pdf In addition to being registered with the State Corporation Commission and IRS, every charitable organization (except as otherwise provided for in the Virginia Solicitation of Contributions Law, VSOC), which intends to solicit contributions within the Commonwealth or have funds solicited on its behalf, is required to file an initial registration statement with OCRP prior to any solicitation. According to OCRP, "'Solicit' and 'solicitation' mean the request or appeal, directly or indirectly, for any contribution on the plea or representation that such contribution will be used for a charitable purpose..'". Further details: https://law.justia.com/codes/virginia/2022/title-57/chapter-5/ https://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/food-charitable-solicitation.shtml https://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/pdf/charitablesolicitationsfaqs.pdf Special Education Action Incorporated's website has a 'Make A Donation' button and a donation form on its website, which states that: "Your tax-deductible donation will help ensure parents, educators, and students have the information and tools necessary to fully understand, address, and safeguard the unique needs of all students who require special education." (https://specialeducationaction.com/donations/form/) A VDACS database search suggests that Special Education Action Incorporated is NOT registered with VDACS Office of Charitable and Regulatory Programs (OCRP) as required by the Virginia Solicitation of Contributions Law: https://cos.vdacs.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/char_search.cgi "Any person who willfully and knowingly violates or causes to be violated any provision of this chapter [i.e., the Virginia Solicitation of Contributions Law (VSOC)] ... shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished for the first offense by a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $1,000 or by confinement in jail for not more than six months, or both, and for the second and any subsequent offense by a fine of not less than $500 and not more than $2,500 or by confinement in jail for not more than one year, or both. Whenever the Commissioner [of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services] has reasonable cause to believe that a violation of this chapter may have occurred, the Commissioner, upon his own motion or upon complaint of any person, may investigate any charitable or civic organization ... to determine whether such charitable or civic organization... has violated the provisions of this chapter. (VA Code § 57-59) Ignorance of the law on the part of the Directors and Officers of Special Education Action Incorporated is no excuse for violating the law. Every donation received by Special Education Action Incorporated in violation of the VSOC Law should be considered a separate violation of the law. The Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services responsible for enforcement of this law is Mr. Joseph Guthrie (Phone: 804.786.3501, email: vdacs.commissioner@vdacs.virginia.gov).

I've worked for an entity doing many FOIA requests. Its simple:
1. Identify the subject data 2. Collect subject data 3. Have a second person peer review 4. have a legal review There is no excuse for giving away data on 30,000 students. If FCPS spent less money on grooming activities, maybe it would have more money for data protections. |

Another person who can't dispute the facts and therefore resorts to petty insults. |

These aren’t facts, so there’s nothing to dispute. |

| FCPS will need to compensate the victims I would recommend suing FCPS as they released the information. |

This is the obvious answer but too many people on this thread are intentionally or unintentionally dense. |

| If Callie hadn't distributed it maybe it would just be FCPS, but she is now involved as someone who distributed data that they shouldn't have. |

+1000 Read what the judge said after she was sued by FCPS for doing this before. FCPS turned around and did the same thing again! |

+5000. This group is the very definition of if a tree falls in the forest. They don’t care if fcps is leaking it as long as they don’t know about it. |
