TOLSIA HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL ACCUSED OF SHARING PRIVATE STUDENTS MEDICAL INFORMATION
During a school assembly Principal Reva Wallace is under investigation for sharing student’s medical information. She is accused of calling out student’s names for not being properly vaccinated during a school assembly.
The student’s were called out by name and had to leave the gymnasium in front of all the student body and school staff.
Former Tolsia High football coach Derrick Evans said. “We’re demanding a change.”
Parents filed complaints with the U.S. Department of Education and along with Mr. Evans started a petition that has more than 2,000 signatures, asking the Board of Education to remove the principal from the school.
Superintendent Todd Alexander said “they will take a close look to see what the issues are and get to the root of the problem.”
Alexander says if the find there was a violation to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, it will be taken care of internally and then come up with an appropriate response.
The Wayne County Board of Education gave this statement by Superintendent Todd Alexander.
“Upon investigating the situation there were HIPPA violations and we will be handling it internally.”
