Okay, so, let's say you're emailing your school district about your kid. You'd assume that that information was private and would be treated as such?

Someone really needs to tell me what compelled my local school district to publish the content of one of those emails in a public agenda document.

Because otherwise I'm considering taking it to the Privacy Commissioner. Yikes.

I assume this is handled differently from state to state. -- nm* - Strongbad Apr 6, 10:59 1
- Quite likely. Province to Province, as well. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 11:08

Did they identify you or your kid? Because i would be livid if they did that. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 10:16 6
- Not quite, but the email contained a bunch of extra information that shouldn't've been published openly. - Beryllium Apr 6, 10:17 5
  - Also, because it's on the agenda, it might get read aloud at tonight's meeting. And published in video form forever. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 10:38 1
    - Decompressed the PDF and was able to confirm that it didn't contain sender information, so that's something at least -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 10:41
  - At minimum let them know your feelings and get clarity on how communications like that are handled. TBH I feel your feedback would be appreciated. -- nm - zunkskunk Apr 6, 10:21 1
    - Yep, this. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 6, 10:23
  - that should have been made very clear, that responses might be shared. -- nm - Andie Apr 6, 10:20
Yes. Yes, I would. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 10:00
