Board opts out of PowerSchool class-action settlement amid data-scope concerns
Summary
After discussion about uncertainty over what student data was exposed in a California class-action suit, the Ashley board voted 5-0 to opt out of joining the PowerSchool litigation resolution and agreement.
Board members debated whether to join a class-action PowerSchool settlement after staff said the scope of data released was unclear. Steve Hardman said the board should consider tabling or opting in only after more information, noting concern that he "doesn't know what information was released and how that will come back."
The board ultimately moved to opt out of joining the PowerSchool litigation resolution and agreement. The motion to opt out was made by Shelly Oswald, seconded by Trent Yelsik, and carried with a 5-0 vote among present members (Anmarie Bradley Dodd was recorded absent). Board members noted that other districts had opted out.
