Dear HSLDA Members and Friends,
Thanks to overwhelming support from homeschoolers, Senate File 99 unanimously passed the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Data Practices yesterday. The Senators have assured us that no further e- mail is necessary at this time.
ACTION REQUESTED
Please send a brief note of thanks in writing to the subcommittee members below:
Chair: Wesley J. Skoglund 124 State Capitol, St. Paul, MN 55155 Don Betzold 111 State Capitol, St. Paul, MN 55155 Ann H. Rest 205 State Capitol, St. Paul, MN 55155 Warren Limmer 121 State Office Building, St. Paul, MN 55155 Julianne E. Ortman G-21 State Office Building, St. Paul, MN 55155
BACKGROUND
A companion bill to House File 168, Senate File 99 would solve Minnesota's data privacy problem by specifically stating that "data collected by a public school on a child that must be reported pursuant to Section 120A.24 is private data." "Private data" should be contrasted with "directory information" or "public data," which under Minnesota's Sunshine Law must be released upon request.

Very truly yours,
Scott W. Somerville HSLDA Staff Attorney
