UPDATED: news clips from our press conference yesterday about violation of student privacy by State Education Department

   UPDATE:  More news clips about our press conference Sunday include Daily News  and the WNYC blog, where the State Education Department said  student “data cannot be sold without explicit consent from school districts.” Wow!  Doesn't that make you feel so much better, knowing that Bloomberg and Walcott will have the authority to decide what private vendors get access to your child's confidential information? Please sign our petition against providing our children's confidential data to private corporations!

Video and sound clips were also featured on NY1 last night and WNYC radio this AM, but I cannot find the links; pl. send them if you do.  More soon, Leonie
