 Your child's personal information is being released: Voice your concerns NOW #PTA4Kids @CaliforniaPTA
(via [email protected] February 17, 2016) February federal court ruling is requiring the California Department of Education to release all personal data -- even including names and Social Security numbers -- on general and special education students since Jan. 1, 2008: more than 10 million students including your child's information. Take action now to voice your objection to releasing your child's personal information! What you can do right now: Voice your objection Follow these step-by-step instructions to complete the Objection to Disclosure of Student Information and Records: 1. Download the form -- available in English and Spanish: 2. Mail the completed form, one for each student, exactly as required to: United State District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller c/o Clerk of the Court Robert T. Matsui United States Courthouse 501 I Street, Room 4-200 Sacramento, CA 95814 Attn: Document Filed Under Seal. 3. Mail a copy to the California Department of Education at: California Department of Education 1430 N Street Sacramento, CA 95814 Attn: State Superintendent Tom Torlakson, Morgan Hill Court Ruling. The deadline to submit objection forms and make your voice heard is April 1, so don’t delay – get yours in the mail to the court and CDE today! Do not fax or email the form, and do not phone or message – only hard-copy forms will be accepted. WHAT CALIFORNIA STATE PTA IS DOING It’s hard to fathom that a judge would allow such an overexposure of children’s information. While California State PTA is not part of the court ruling, we are exploring other avenues to delay, reduce or possibly reverse the release of so much of our children’s personal information. California State PTA has a long history of protecting and upholding students’ privacy rights, and today is no different. Read our media statement, and we'll keep you updated as we learn more. MORE INFORMATION In April 2012, the Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association and the Concerned Parent Association filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Education_ (CDE) alleging non-compliance by local education agencies with special education laws. The suit also alleges the CDE fails to monitor, investigate and correct such non-compliance in accordance with the law. While this lawsuit called for students’ general demographic information, a federal court has just ruled that CDE must release all data -- even including names and Social Security numbers -- it has collected on general and special education students since Jan. 1, 2008 – more than 10 million students. Find out more from the CDE. Read the California Department of Education's media statement.  Please email your pictures to PTA Yearbook Chair by Friday 2/19 to guarantee printing

Space There are many galaxies besides the Milky Way Galaxy we call home. There are so many, we can’t even count them all yet! The Hubble Space Telescope looked at a small patch of space for 12 days and found 10,000 galaxies, of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some scientists think there could be as many as one hundred billion galaxies in the universe. Find out more  Sun The sun sends lots of energy toward us all the time. There are a few different kinds of energy. There is infrared radiation, which is heat. There is visible light, which is what our eyes can see. There is also ultraviolet light. We can’t see ultraviolet with our eyes, but it’s there. And it can burn our skin. Find out more.  Earth Earth and the moon are very good friends, but they're not as close as they seem. They’re actually really far apart. The moon is an average of 238,855 miles (384,400 km) away. How far away is that? That’s 30 Earths. And the moon is moving very slowly away from us. It gets about 1 inch farther away each year. But don't worry. They'll still be friends for a very long time! Find out more.  Solar System
We finally got to visit Pluto, Charon, and the Kuiper Belt! On January 19, 2006, NASA launched a robot spacecraft on the long journey. This mission is called New Horizons. The spacecraft arrived at Pluto in July 2015, and it will continue to study other objects in the Kuiper Belt from about 2018 to 2022. Find out more. |
