Patron security in the work place

[charisstoma]

Once again a certain individual posts security sensitive information on the school's employee website in adobe format and accessible from home. While I appreciate that person's trust that no one here is dishonest or needs money that badly as to violate that trust.. Posting a list of SS# with names and birth dates of students doesn't seem secure enough.

With budgetary cuts and probably overworked IT getting ready for a resumption of classes in just 14 days and knowing that employee e-mail accounts have been maintained on the system in the past after an individual has been discontinued..
*shakes head*

Ends rant: the sequel.

People seem to be blissfully unaware that the 'net isn't private. We've been trying to convince people at our school of that, too!

The students that are in the lists.. are all non-English speaking immigrants, some illegal. We get them from wherever there is conflict or been conflict as well as some normal places.

Some are Muslim. Jack a Arab ID from a kid with legal SS#. No one would catch on and the family wouldn't be in a position to know.

A friend of the family who use to live on the Mexico/Texas border was an Iraqi married to a U.S. citizen. People there were always mistaking him for Hispanic. Most of our kids a Hispanic.
