As a result of overwhelming public protest, it now appears that any disclosure of student records by CDE will be more restricted than initially represented. Federal judge Kimberly Mueller has ordered that CDE maintain custody of the most sensitive of its databases, the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, also known as CALPADS. The CDE will assist attorneys in running searches for information requested by the plaintiffs. According to the CDE, the court also reiterated that no student’s personally identifiable information will be released to the plaintiffs unless and until they demonstrate to the satisfaction of the court the security of the student data.
The extent of the disclosure of student data is still being litigated. In the meantime, parents with concerns about the release of student data are still encouraged to submit an Objection Form. The form must be printed out and sent via US mail to:
United States District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller
c/o Clerk of the Court
Robert T. Matsui United States Courthouse
501 I St., Room 4-200
Sacramento, CA 95814
Attn: Document Filed Under Seal
