The Flanagan bill an opt-out provision for districts but not parents. It would create a privacy officer appointed and under the direction of the Education Commissioner who would develop a bill of rights for parents, but there is no way this Commissioner would allow robust parent rights in this document, or any right to opt out data sharing. And already in the Personal privacy protection law, every state agency is supposed to have a privacy compliance officer -- and report every year on what data they are sharing and with whom. The State Education Dept has never complied with this law since it was passed in 1984.
