GA: Woman buys file cabinet, finds students’ private records

Posted on September 17, 2014 by Dissent

Kerry Kavanaugh reports:

A Henry County woman is outraged after she purchased a used filing cabinet and found students’ personal information inside.

The files had the Brandon Hall School logo and so much more. Elizabeth Darsey found them in a used filing cabinet she purchased at a used furniture warehouse.

“Disciplinary actions, legal actions, lawsuits, employment issues, everything,” Darsey told Channel 2’s Kerry Kavanaugh.

Brandon Hall is a private school in Sandy Springs. The files date back to the 2003-2004 school year and include information about students and staff.

Kavanaugh found copies of personal checks from school donors, expulsion letters, even information from someone’s job application.

“It includes his family name, his given name, his country of origin, his Social Security number,” Darsey said. “I think they need to contact every parent and student that is included in this to let them know.”
