Lawsuit Affects Release of Student Data
A recent lawsuit against the California Department of Education (CDE) is impacting all school districts across the state, including Arcadia Unified School District. We wanted to make you aware of this, and provide you with an opt-out form and other important information regarding this case.
In April 2012, two organizations, the Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association and the Concerned Parent Association, filed a lawsuit against the CDE alleging widespread, systemic non-compliance by local education agencies with special education laws.
Our district was not involved in the lawsuit and is not the subject of any of the suit’s allegations.
Nonetheless, as a part of this lawsuit, CDE has been ordered by the United States District Court to release all data it has collected on general and special education students since Jan. 1, 2008. While the court order reads in part, “No student’s identifying records will be disclosed to the public,” beyond those mentioned in the lawsuit, we wanted to make you aware of this.
Parents/Guardians may complete and mail in an Opt-Out Form to prevent the release of student data:

This must be done by April 1, 2016.

影響學生資料被公佈的訴訟 —選擇退出表格可在網上取得
一個最近對加州教育部門提出的訴訟案件影響了全加州的學區，包括阿凱迪亞聯合學區在內。我們希望您知道這一訴訟案件，並提供您一份選擇退出表格和其他有關此案件的重要信息。
在2012年4月，the Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association和the Concerned Parent Association這兩個組織對加州教育部門提出訴訟，指控地方教育機構普遍性的、整個系統性的不遵守特殊教育法的法規。
我們的學區沒有涉及此訴訟，也不是此案件任何指控的對象。然而，做為此訴訟的一部分，美國聯邦地區法院已經命令加州教育部門公佈所有自2008年1月1日起所收集的普通教育及特殊教育學生的資料。法院命令的一部分提到除了訴訟案件中所提到的人或組織，「沒有任何學生的識別紀錄會向公眾披露」。我們希望您知道法院命令的這個部分。
家長/監護人可以填寫選擇退出表格並寄到指定地點以避免學生的資料被公佈：
