Richmond Public Schools

https://www.rvaschools.net/ Richmond Public Schools (RPS) is a public school district in Virginia's capital city. The district has an enrollment of 22,000 to 24,000 students and includes 25 elementary schools, 7 middle schools, 5 comprehensive high schools, and 3 specialized schools. Due to a lax approach to security and an unwillingness to negotiate, we are releasing their confidential data, including disciplinary records, medical records, speech therapy and mental health records, special needs education records, and personally identifiable information (names, birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers, etc.). This breach violates the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Virginia privacy laws, and HIPAA, undermines the public trust, and exposes RPS to reputational damage and lawsuits from students, parents, and staff.
