Would i Be able to get compensation from the school?
To provide a more accurate response, could you please specify the nature of your issue with the school? For example, is it related to an injury, discrimination, or another matter?
improper disclosure of pii student records
To help you better, could you specify if the improper disclosure was intentional or accidental, and how it has impacted you or your student? This will help determine the potential for compensation.
unintentional by the staff member. The effect of the improper disclosure holds less of an impact then the lack of support and misinformation that led to the unfortunate result of not joining the mens team after my transition. The changed name, photos, and videos from both pre and post transition that can be found by typing either name which reveal my transender status is still harmful nevertheless as i fear my past identity being outed in the private school i work at which ive already seen how they treated someone and outed them and led to them not returning the next year. Also knowing that anyone can find this information gives me great distress because my entire world and life around me thus far sees me for who i am and it just takes one person that doxes someone for that information to spread and damage a persons reputation and opportunities
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Given the sensitive nature of your issue, here are some steps and legal points to consider in California:
- **Privacy Rights**: California has strong privacy laws under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Constitution which might be relevant.
- **FERPA**: If this involves educational records, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) might apply.
- **Employment Rights**: California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) protects employees from discrimination based on gender identity and expression.

no about ferpa and that it doesn't matter if the information was disclosed to a third-party website that the school is still responsible for fixing the improper discord

yes but where does it state that i need the citation

no but does this sound okay as a response: Hi Sonia,
Thank you for your continued attention to this matter.
I understand the principal's recommendation to reach out to the third-party websites regarding the disclosure of my personally identifiable information (PII). While I have taken proactive steps by contacting some of these websites, I believe it’s important to emphasize that, as outlined in * CFR Part * (FERPA), the responsibility for safeguarding student education records ultimately rests with the school, even in cases where disclosure has occurred through third-party websites.
In terms of progress, I contacted the individual who previously maintained the smrunners.com domain. Tom, the person in charge, informed me that he has deleted the entire domain. Regarding Athletic.net, despite several attempts to contact them, I have yet to successfully remove my information. Their privacy policy indicates that disputes related to improper disclosures of student records must be addressed directly with the institution that originally disclosed the information.
While I did not reach out to other sites directly, I have learned that some websites are bound by CIF rules and regulations, which align with FERPA in safeguarding students' privacy.
I hope this information helps address my concerns, and I would appreciate the school’s assistance in ensuring that my requests for data protection are resolved effectively.
Best regards,
Samuel Mejia

Best regards,
so this is the email i am replying to: Hi Samuel,
I checked with the principal after reviewing some of the sites you provided. Some of them are publications out of our school and others are no longer maintained by anyone. He suggested you contact the newspapers directly. I was reviewing them and am a bit stuck on how to proceed. I was in the midst of the beginning of a new school year but have not forgotten about it.
Lets talk soon and see if you can help me with a solution to this as I do not know how all of these can be fixed to meet your request. but i realize she says: Lets talk soon and see if you can help me with a solution to this as I do not know how all of these can be fixed to meet your request. previous to this message i wrote: I respectfully request the following amendments to ensure my records accurately reflect my identity and protect my privacy:
*. Removal of my name and photographs from all records related to my sports participation.
*. If removal isn’t possible, please replace my name with an anonymous placeholder.
*. For photographs and videos that cannot be edited, I request that access be restricted to
individuals directly involved. should i be more explicit and explain since shes not really sure how or what to do
It might be helpful to provide a bit more clarity in your response since she seems unsure about how to proceed. Here’s a revised version of your response with added details for better guidance:
