Teacher fired for premarital sex

I'll ask.

IIRC, my wife was asked some medical-related questions on a form from our daughter's school and she told 'em to take a hike because signing the form meant the school could then release that information to anyone they wanted.

(Presumably, then, they'd be in violation of some policy...maybe HIPAA...if they released the info without her signature.)

The only people who have access to that info are the school nurse and the child's teacher. I know that schools are covered with a confidentiality clause as solid as a doctors and we can get sued for releasing that information. The reason that is done is that there is a list given at the beginning of the year to each teacher telling your students medical concerns. Usual ones are asthma and diabetes. That way if something is happening to a child we know and can deal with it asap for the safety of the child.
