David Williams reports:

Thousands of students at a Seminole County high school had private information leaked in an text alert, according to a  spokesperson for for school district.  The GPAs of more than 4,100 current and former students were exposed by an athletic coach.

Seminole County Public Schools says on July 27,  the athletic director at Seminole High School in Sanford sent coaches an email with the wrong file attachment to verify sport eligibility.  Then, an athletic coach mistakenly forwarded the file of thousands of GPAs to parents and some students on his team.
