RECKLESS BEHAVIOR?

 

Recently, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) investigated a complaint from an Eanes ISD parent who alleged that Eanes ISD and its agent, a private attorney from the law firm Walsh, Anderson, Brown, Schultze, and Aldridge (WABSA) disclosed a child's confidential information.  (2008)

The TEA found that:

" ... representatives of the LEA (Local Educational Agency - in this case Eanes ISD and its highly paid private attorneys) demonstrated what could be viewed as reckless behavior ..."

However, as usual, TEA let Eanes "off the hook" with a simple reminder:

" ... TEA again reminds the Eanes ISD legal representatives (in this case Walsh, Anderson, Brown Schultze and Aldridge) of their obligation to protect information related to student information."

 

This complaint and several others alleging continuing disclosure of confidential student records are presently under formal investigation by the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. 

Eanes ISD has been found out of compliance with confidentiality laws (by TEA and the U.S. Department of Education) on a number of occasions in the past five years related to the district's repeated disclosure of confidential student records.  Each time, the district has retained private attorneys funded by school tax dollars to ... as some would say ... "defend the district against the indefensible."
