FERPA allows sharing with another school when a student is transferring/enrolling there, but does not permit the disclosure of personally identifiable information without parental consent.

This rule by the State of Florida is in violation of Federal Laws.

“Taxpayers should know where their tax dollars are being spent, not being funneled into private entities, and families deserve to know how their children’s data is being used.” —Ginny Hunt, co-founder of Magnified Voices

“If a student with a disability has an unmet accommodation, for example, certain behaviors may be more frequent and more often disciplined — a record that’ll follow the student around even after leaving that school.”

“Discipline data in particular is dangerous when it’s stripped of context.”

— Will Haynes, Hillsborough County
Special Education Parent-Teacher Association

“So it doesn’t limit it to students within the school that [the School of Hope operator] is already in, it doesn’t limit it to students within a certain mile range. It just says student data system, so there are literally no parameters around it in that rule.” @strongflschools.bsky.social

“The student data that can be shared can include academic histories, disability status and disciplinary records, according to the public education advocates. Beyond the charter operator, the information may also land in the hands of third-party vendors.”

“The Florida Department of Education rule gives Schools of Hope operators access to a wealth of student data.

The rule states that ‘a Hope Operator shall have access to the student information system in the school district in which a School of Hope is located.’”

Established science has already proven this false for decades. The battle against Fluoride is a decades long battle rooted in post WWII and Cold War fear mongering.

50th in the nation in teacher pay. We would rather try to run 3 imperfect systems of education (public, charter, and vouchers) than one perfect one.

This is false. Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral, not a drug, and side effects occur if taken in large quantities, not at the .7 mg / liter of water Miami is at.
