Student privacy breached in Delta School District

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Dissent

Sheila Reynolds reports:

The Delta School District is assuring parents their children’s personal information is secure after student data was unintentionally accessed online last week.

A parent in the district was using the Parent Connect system – which allows parents to access information about their own child – and ended up being able to see details about all the students in the Delta district.

The parent contacted the school district immediately on Oct. 23 and according to a letter from Superintendent Dianne Turner, the issue was corrected within two hours.
