which one of u wardrivers found this ssid :p This is pretty sad.
Like leaving a vault open, PAUSD failed to place a number of highly sensitive computer files containing student information in a locked location on its network. Using a laptop with a wireless card outside the district's main office, the Weekly gained access to such data as grades, home phone numbers and addresses, emergency medical information complete with full-color photos of students and a psychological evaluation.
District administrators are blaming the security breach on everything from bureaucracy to teacher error to grass-root efforts to establish wireless networks at school sites.
The federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) also enforces student and parental rights regarding private information, placing the Palo Alto district in violation of the law.
