Video footage from our press conference on threats to student privacy

Class Size Matters hosted a press conference on the Tweed steps, March 14, 2013 about the state's plan to provide confidential student and teacher data to inBloom Inc., which in turn plans to make the data available to for-profit vendors, without parental notification or consent. Speakers included civil rights attorney Norman Siegel, Councilmembers Daniel Dromm, Letitia James and Stephen Levin, public school parents Karen Sprowal, Lisa Shaw and Tori Frye, and Class Size Matters' Executive Director,  Leonie Haimson.
