DOJ Sues Kansas City School District Over Student Privacy | Dayton News

The Justice Department is suing Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools over a 2017 guidance document that allegedly violates federal privacy laws by restricting parental access to student records and allowing gender-related meetings without consent. This marks the first time the DOJ has taken such legal action against a school district for this issue, with potential fallout across Kansas—including Topeka’s recent agreement to halt gender-support plans—and possible loss of $70 million in federal funding for the district if found guilty. The case could set a national precedent on balancing student support and parental rights. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
