1.Just a short note to let you know that I’ll be talking about student privacy on Facebook Live tomorrow night, Tuesday Sept. 10 at 6:30 on the Long Island Opt Out FB page. I’ll be speaking with Jeanette Deutermann of LI Opt out about the widespread Pearson breach of student data and NY State Education Department’s attempt to weaken the state student privacy law by allowing College Board, ACT and other vendors to sell personal student information and use it for marketing purposes. More on this here.

In connection with this issue, please remember to send a message to NYSED not to weaken the state law in this way; just click here.

2. On Wed., from 10-11 AM, we’ll be launching our new WBAI radio show, Talk out of School, co-hosted with Carol Burris, and guests Shino Tanikawa of the School Diversity Advisory Group and Alex Rodriguez of Teens Take Charge. We’ll be discussing the recommendations of the SDAG to eliminate gifted programs in elementary schools and screened middle schools. Please join us at 99.5 FM or at wbai.org online, and call in!

Thanks, Leonie
