[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the one who posed the question about privacy, and I'm not trying to say people should be entitled to double-enroll their kids or anything goofy.  Just wondering HOW they're doing this without breaking the law unless - as some of you have noted - by getting written consent, individually.  And the reason why I thought of this was remembering what was in LAMB's application form, viz.,

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a Federal law, requires that LAMB PCS, with certain exceptions, obtain your
written consent prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education records. However, LAMB PCS
may disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the LEA to the
contrary in accordance with LEA’s procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the LAMB PCS to include this
type of information from your child’s education records in certain school publications.[/quote]

This policy refers to the disclosing of personally identifiable information to OUTSIDE agencies/people.  This does NOT refer to what PCSB gathers and shares within its network.  Keep reading your LAMB document, or any disclosure of privacy practices literature you got when you enrolled.  PCSB regulates and monitors ALL DC PCS's.  Once you submit this info to them, if they are using it to do their job in supervising the schools, they are not breaking any rules.

You still have not identified any HIPAA or other privacy policy that would be violated by charters and PCSB checking double enrollments.  And that's because, it's totally legal for them to do it.[/quote]
