[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but I'm not sure working for dc.gov makes you an expert on privacy. I just completed an enrollment packet that asked all sorts of questions about medical issues, medications taken and disabilities. This information falls within HIPAA privacy laws. [/quote]

Well, it certainly makes me a greater expert than you, just from your post!

Did anyone say they will be sending your enrollment PACKET around to all the schools?  Where was that said?

There is a significant difference between comparing *names* on *enrollment lists*, and sending the entire packet *everywhere* to let everyone see when your kid's last check up was and what language you speak at home.  What probably amuses me most is that you seem to think this info isn't already collected, every single year.  This is proposing it be used for an additional purpose, but do you really think schools don't have access to other school's enrollment info currently?  Or a right to confirm/deny if a certain student is enrolled at another school if they have a question?

So since you're such a privacy expert too, let me ask you again: what specific HIPAA clauses/policies are violated if schools within the same public school system share names of enrolled students?[/quote]
