    K-12 student database spooks parents

    A new database tracks the grades, test scores, attendance and hobbies of millions of U.S. students.Companies that sell educational software are thrilled, but some parents have reservations.

    An education technology conference this week in Austin will clang with bells and whistles as startupseagerly show off their latest wares.

    But the most influential new product may be the least flashy: a $100 million database built to chart theacademic paths of public school students from kindergarten through high school.

    In operation for just three months, the database already holds files on millions of children identified byname, address and sometimes social security number. Learning disabilities are documented, test scoresrecorded, attendance noted. In some cases, the database tracks student hobbies, career goals, attitudestoward school even homework completion.

    Local education officials retain legal control over their students' information. But federal law allows themshare files in their portion of the database with private companies selling educational products andservices.

    Entrepreneurs can't wait.

    States and school districts can choose whether they want to input their student records into the system;the service is free for now, though inBloom officials say they will likely start to charge fees in 2015. So faseven states Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Massachusetts have committed to enter data from select school districts. Louisiana and New York will be entering nearlyall student records statewide.

    On the record, and for all to hear: The Henry Citizen does not like it, not one bit!!

    Whatever our children do, or do not do, in school is not for sale! This is another hair-brained scheme byso-called Education Experts and it stinks! Lets just put little micro-computer chips in Johnnys head soevery thought and action can be monitored.

    This is the kind of decision that should result in the state superintendent, and any school administrator, be recalled or fired.

    I will speak today until the president responds and says,No, we wont kill Americansin cafes. No, we wont kill you at home at night,Mr. Paul said early on in the filibustewhich began at 11:47 a.m. and by early afternoon showed no signs of slowing down.

    I will speak until I can no longer speak. Iwill speak as long as it takes, until the alar

    is sounded from coast to coast that our

    Constitution is important, that your rights trial by jury are precious, that no America

    should be killed by a drone on American so

    without first being charged with a crime,

    without first being found to be guilty by a

    court. ~ Rand Paul

    This old-fashioned filibuster hinges on takingadvantage of Senate floor rules that permit amember to speak indefinitely on a subject. PastSenate members have famously read the Bible o

    other lengthy tomes in order to sustain such afilibuster. Senator Paul today memorably reads a passagefrom Lewis Carrolls Alice in Wonderland.

    On Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder releasedlegal memos arguing that the White House had theauthority to use drone strikes over U.S. soil to kill Americans suspected of terrorism without due processSenator Paul immediately responded by posting a news release on his website quoting him as saying:

    The U.S. Attorney Generals refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizen

    and on American soil is more than frightening it is an affront the Constitutional due process righof all Americans.

    Senators Mike Lee and Ted Cruz joined Rand Paul in the filibuster.

    REMINDER--Please consider signing up for one of the 4 Gun Safety Seminars (Classethat will be offered in 4 different cities in Henry County. The first one is March 14th at

    should not have authority to set the board's agenda. What we have here appears to be a coup dtatagainst the newly elected chairman.

    Elections have consequences and the people spoke in a 60-40 [Republican Primary] vote to elect thecurrent chairman with the powers and authority of the position as created in 1974. Local legislation shoualways come from a unanimous vote of the sitting board - not one person, and not one member of thelegislative delegation regardless of personal agendas.

    Voices:

    Christi Conner Tate wrote: Some chairmen chose not to vote on their own. It should staythis way. This is totally aimed at Tommy Smith and I bet it's some old timers idea. This guyhasn't been around enough to have come up with this on his own. Tommy recalls being calledking Tommy and didn't really give a rat. lol. The chairman has to have influence on what thecounty manager and employees do because he is the elected leader. The county managerhistorically lends an ear and hand to whoever is politically powerful and it balances things out.The chairman is not a ceremonial figurehead.

    Stephen S. Coffee wrote: There is something that dose not meet the eye here. Sounds likesomeone stepped on some toes on a deal before the board and is seeking revenge. Mr.

    Jeffares, I think you have important issues at the capital than this that you should beaddressing.

    It is but a shot across the bow. In the McDonough city charter issue the delegation set precedent againsaltering the role and responsibilities of a sitting elected official. Some delegation members are not yet inthe loop on Jeffares proposed local legislation. It is about serious political agendas and nullification of anelection. Take that to heart. To even think a member of the Henry delegation would open this can ofworms, especially without fully vetting it with the delegation members AND the sitting commissioners,shows a shallow and agenda-driven mind. The blow back against our conservative Republican delegationmembers would be more than precarious - this is the stuff that ends political careers. Focus on theprinciples at stake. Nobody should care who is a friend with whom, or what anyone thinks of the currentchairman. Elections have consequences and the chairman was elected to oust the former chairman.

    Seems there are some issues the senator wants to clear up and rectify with the chairman, and this movehis way of getting the chairman's attention. The Citizenheard three issues, but from different sources syou can take that for what it is. None of the issues are a matter of public policy and none of them rise tothe level of legislative action. There is some pettiness afoot, but the "shot heard round the County" couldbe someone's undoing.

    If this is a private or personal matter that Jeffares is trying to resolve, then we have a serious breach ofethical behavior and abuse of power to "threaten" legislative action against a sitting commissioner/

    chairman. From all we have heard (grapevine, so take it for what it is) this is all about personal issues.

    Please visit THE FEDERALIST PAPERS

    Georgia House of Representatives

    One of the bills passed this week that may directly affect your family is HOUSEBILL 123, the Parent andTeacher Empowerment Act. This legislation would allow parents to petition their local school board toconvert their traditional public school into a public charter school. HB 123 also provides parents andteachers several options for transforming low-achieving schools. These options would allow parents andteachers to decide whether their low-achieving school should: 1) remove administration; 2) restructure thschool; 3) allow students an option to transfer to a better performing school in the district; 4) utilize a schomanagement team; and/or 5) impose student improvement plans. To enact these options or convert to acharter school, more than 50 percent of parents or teachers would have to sign a petition. The petitionwould then go before the local school board for consideration, who could defeat the petition by a simplemajority vote. If, however, a petition is supported by more than sixty percent of parents or teachers, theboard must have a two-thirds vote to reject the petition. This measure is intended to engage students,inspire teachers, and involve parents in their children's education.

    Empowermentis an odd term to describe a law that purports to strengthen parents andteachers when the power remains with the local school board. Kinda poo-poos the idea thatthe new law does much of anything.

    the government - to decide whether a licensed weapon holder may carry a gun in their places of worshipand establishments that primarily serve alcohol beverages. The bill would also allow GWL holders to cartheir firearm in a government building that is not afforded the protection of security services at theentrances or exits of the premises. Additionally, HB 512 would allow gun owners to carry their firearms omost areas of public college campuses, but would not allow weapons in residence halls or competitivesporting events.
