I did it. I emailed
EngageNY asking to to opt out my son of any and all data collected and/or to distributed. I had first called (518-474-5922) the office of
Curriculum and Instruction at NYSED. I asked whom can I speak to in regard to my request. After several minutes of being put on hold I was told that EngageNY could only be contacted by email (
EDP@mail.nysed.gov). OK, so I emailed;
To whom it may concern:
My son is currently a student in the Harrison Central School District. I would like to have his data wipe and not shared at all. Also, I would like to know how I can go about seeing what data has been collected.
Thank you in advance.
Peter Zucker
