Lawsuit alleges i-Ready collected and shared San Diego student data
A lawsuit alleges that i-Ready, a widely used educational assessment platform, collected data from San Diego students and shared it with third parties without proper authorization. The case targets the data practices of an ed-tech tool used in classrooms across the district.
Why this matters: Kids using school software do not get to opt out. Parents mostly do not know what is being collected. Schools adopt these platforms because they have to, not because families chose them. If i-Ready was sharing student data beyond what the district authorized, that is not a terms-of-service technicality. It is a breach of trust involving children who had no say in the matter. Ed-tech companies have long operated with weak accountability. A lawsuit like this puts real pressure on that.
