P.S. 15: When Does Student Data Tracking Cross the Line?
from Miseducation Hosted by The Bell
This episode features “EWA Radio: Student Data Privacy as a Civil Rights Issue,” recorded live on March 9 at the SXSW EDU Conference in Austin, Texas. Panel description Schools collect lots of information about students – health records, attendance, grades and disciplinary actions. Many parents aren't aware the data may be shared with others, including private companies or law enforcement, and even analyzed to identify and predict student behavior. Experts explain how some of these seemingly innocuous records have the potential to put students (particularly Black and Hispanic children, students with disabilities and LGBTQ+) on a different life trajectory. Panelists Kavitha Cardoza (moderator) — Public Editor, Education Writers Association Elizabeth Laird — Director, Equity in Civic Technology, Center for Democracy & Technology Clarence Okoh — Senior Policy Counsel & Just Tech Fellow, Center for Law & Social Policy Marika Pfefferkorn — Solutions Sustainability Officer, Twin Cities Innvoation Alliance To join the conversation, send us a message and follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
