The good news is that four states (LA, GA, KY, DE) have recently announced they are pulling out of inBloom; the bad news is that NY is sharing confidential student data from the entire state’s public school population with inBloom, and as far as we know, has already sent much of this data into the inBloom cloud.

A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to try to stop inBloom and the unethical sharing of personal student data with vendors without parental consent. A.6059/S.4284 now has 59 co-sponsors in the Assembly and 20 in the Senate.

It’s especially important for Long Islanders to call Sen. Flanagan at (631) 361-2154 and Sen. Skelos at (516) 766-8383 and ask them to support the bill and hold hearings on it now.
