Day 3 of the new 2010-2011 school year

If I seem nastier today this may explain it.
Today I tried to point out to someone in a quasi-admin position, she thinks she is anyway, that she should not put out a new to us foreign student's SS# in an e-mail to staff that don't need to know that information. The school district assigns Permanent student ID# for security purposes. She should use that number and not be so lazy as to not go find the correct secure number.
Sure the kid not as yet a US citizen, is probably in the 14 to 17 age category but it's still a legitimate US social security number. This is the second year I've politely tried to tell her this is not the correct way to do things. But in her eyes I am only a admin assist and she is a school coordinator, so of course she knows better and thanks me for my input so very *grits teeth* nicely.
My supervisor was finally provoked to shoot off an e-mail to the school's principal delineating why this wasn't a good policy to have student SS#s in school e-mail postings to multiple members of the staff. People like me, who don't deal with student testing and am cushioned from that information. No one crosses this person though. She loud, officious, and micromanaging.
We have new VPs in the school, one is testing savvy and I hope is going to blow this difficult person out of the water.

Not screening inappropriate recipients from receiving sensitive material is irresponsible. Really frosts me that the testing materials are given more security than a child's SSN.
