| Summary | As a school, Shalom Christian Academy is legally and ethically obligated to maintain a wide range of confidential information. However, they are grossly negligent in protecting their own security and that of their students and staff. Consequently, we provide you with student grades, disciplinary and special education records, health and immunization records, financial aid and tuition information, donation history, employee background checks, salary data, and internal security documents. This leak into the public domain constitutes an unacceptable betrayal that can lead to identity theft, financial fraud, extortion, harassment, and devastating harm to children and families. The school is culpable for this act and must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. |
