Parent alleges staff shared student details on social media; asks district to investigate

During the public‑comment period, Mary Fultz of Aurora addressed the East Aurora School District 131 Board of Education and said she is “heartbroken” over detailed, anonymous social‑media posts about herself, her grandchildren and other students.

Fultz told the board the posts “are posted as a staff member of East Aurora” and said they include “detailed information that only staff would have privileged access to.” She cited the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and called the posts “a serious breach of confidentiality and potential harm to students and their families.” Fultz asked the district to investigate and take “serious discipline actions, provide training to all staff on confidentiality and social media policy,” and to inform her of what steps the district takes.

Nut graf: Fultz said she has advocated in the district for 25 years and that the disclosures are recurring and harmful; she asked for an update on any actions the district takes. She also said the posts are not isolated to her and that the timing feels directed at her because she is running for the school board.

The transcript records no formal board motion or immediate action taken during the meeting in direct response to Fultz’s comments. The superintendent and board accepted the public comment and the speaker said she would follow up via email with the district.

Ending: The board did not announce an investigation outcome during the meeting; Fultz requested an update and the district will need to confirm what investigative steps, if any, it takes and whether staff training or discipline follows.
