Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association



To Whom It May Concern,



I have been contacted by many of my constituents who are deeply concerned that as a result of the Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association vs. California Department of Education case, their or their children’s personal information is at risk for identity theft.



I share these concerns, and I write to urge you to take every precaution that these current and former students are not exposed to identity theft. Given the information that you have requested, I respectfully request you address how you intend to protect the information so students’ private data are not vulnerable.



I look forward to your reply. If you have any follow up questions regarding my request, please contact my office at (619)596-3136.



Sincerely,



Joel Anderson

Senator, District 38
