Florida parents are right to be outraged at the outrageous privacy violations that took place late last week in at least 3 Polk County, Florida schools.

I just got off the phone with Rob Davis, senior director of support services for the district, who confirmed to me what Florida education activists blew the whistle on here: Students were indeed subjected to iris scans without their parents’ permission.

The schools involved:

Daniel Jenkins Academy – high school
Bephune Academy – elementary school
Davenport School of the Arts – middle school.

Davis told me that “it is a mistake on our part” that a notification letter to parents did not go out on May 17.
