Hours after the State Board of Education deliberated behind closed doors over seven students' appeals for exemptions from high-stakes testing requirements, state officials posted the private educational records of each of those students on the state website.
All seven students were denied an exemption from the law that requires high school seniors to pass at least four of seven end-of-instruction tests to earn a diploma.
The Internet posting includes names, grade point averages, school districts, learning disabilities, test scores and other information. Addresses and phone numbers were redacted.
It prompted an outcry Wednesday from Tulsa-area educators and attorneys who said the state Department of Education's action violates state and federal educational privacy laws.
