It usually starts with an email, and is resolved pretty quickly when these boxes are checked:

[ ] We are supplying the hardware.

[ ] We wish to protect our kids and our own rights. Letting the school surveil my home network or office (when the kids are doing homework there) is a no-go.

[ ] Parents are not wingnuts (helps that I'm a developer and business owner and my wife is a teacher at another district) and can afford to lawyer up.

I've only had to have a lawyer get involved once, and that was a 15 minute call with the school district's attorney. I think the conversation was pretty much, "is he serious about this?" "Yes. I'm on retainer."




Thank you for actually protecting our kids and setting a president for all. Do you have any involvement with PTA or other public forums where these issues are discussed before being implemented?
