@BillMelugin_ It seems like in systems today, rules, processes â we cut corners. We remove âbarriersâ. We âstreamlineâ things to optimize it. But maybe optimization and barrier-removal leads to fraud and security breakdowns as a byproduct.
@stevemgordon67@reagandunn With Personally Identifiable Information the new form of currency â perhaps councilmembers can investigate how schoolchildrenâs highly sensitive identifiable information has been managed via the grants, because the Auditorâs Office put it on their 2026 High Risk List report
@bkheywood This is the same assessment. Whatâs interesting is that a childâs pediatrician doesnât get a copy. Parents not provided a copy. It includes several scores and flags for each child.

@bkheywood The WA State SBIRT program
1) Allows schools to bypass parents
2) .. schedules âsensitive conversationsâ with âstigmatizingâ info between child & school employee.
Ex: âsexual attractionsâ
3) .. in 1:1 private settings behind a closed door
Conflicting with this state guidance
@LauraPowellEsq There are several links to stories which contain some correct and incorrect info, but there is no link to the dataset itself nor the privately held documents from the PRRs. Which are you requesting.
@LauraPowellEsq They are from XLS datasets of student-level SBIRT records released in public records requests. PRR first initiated by Seattle Times; released again to community members. Shockingly files contain substantial student PII and cannot be shared. Breach was reported to OSPI immediately
@bkheywood WA has a K-12 program, SBIRT, that âconnectsâ âNon-Family Adultsâ with students; Private, 1:1 Intervention Sessions (â1-8â). Can be âlay personâ says OSPI. On âstigmatizingâ info of a student, their word.
67K WA kids participated + expanding
The training materials seem strange.
@bkheywood Because this programâs purpose is to establish ârelationshipsâ (their word) between students and adult staff over âstigmatizingâ (their word) personal information of a child â it deserves scrutiny and vetting by the state, not yet received.
These training materials seem strange
@BrentDeYou69736@bkheywood That was the redaction in the XLS file. They redacted it that way vs a black box. Itâs a male teacher we canât see their name.
@bkheywood Referenced above, hereâs a small sampling of real responses typed in by school kids who participated in this intervention program, as preserved in official records. Program is administered to all students in a grade (all 7th graders for example, or 6 and 7th, etc)
@bkheywood Many students administered this SBIRT assessment, that leads to 1-on-1 private room âsessionsâ wrote inside their records things like this real entry by a middle schooler. Kids tried to raise alarms like this + more documented inside their records but went ignored.
@bkheywood Yesâofficial documents for this program cite importance of private room ârelationship buildingâ between staff and schoolchildren, where the student (6th graders and beyond) are to âconnectâ at school with a âtrusted, NON-FAMILY adultâ it says; on âsexual attractionsâ + more
@jasonrantz Section from the school-based programâs Data Sharing Agreement:
âPurpose of this agreement is to authorize the release of specified student PII (Personally Identifiable Information)â
Which, this DSA says in its appendix, includes the childâs âsexual attractionsâ
