"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 far,
seven 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 nearly all student records
statewide."
So I am OK for now. I had better keep an eye on
this one.

Is not directly the data...
It will inevitably be leaked to employers wanting background information.
This data will almost certainly not benefit the applicant, as it will also
include any behavioral issues that occurred in school, or even references to
being suspended, turned over to juvenile court...
EVEN if the court records are sealed/expunged, the school data base will likely
also have the equivalent records.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I hope there are some lawsuits soon. Folks should push hard for an 'opt out'
provision, which will surely stick in the craw of the proponents. People need
to realize that a privately run national database of students personal
information is a disaster waiting to happen. The creators are willing to take
this risk. Do parents want to take a chance on it? [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
