IL: Students’ personal info compromised when teacher’s backpack stolen in suburbs

Posted on September 30, 2014 by Dissent

WGN reports:

A teacher’s backpack at an elementary school in suburban Hoffman Estates was stolen last week and one of the items now missing contains personal information about all the students and more.

The pack, known as a “crisis backpack,” has won awards and was developed by the Hoffman Estates Fire Dept to use in an emergency situation. It contains a whistle, a red vest for the teacher, tarp, flashlight, first aid kit, toilet paper, pens and pencils and a class list with a student’s first and last name and when they’re in the class; items that would be necessary for teachers in a lockdown situation.

The principal at Lincoln Prairie Elementary School went one step further and included students’ personal information like birthdate, gender, address, home phone, household members names and their phone numbers of the entire student body.
