POLK COUNTY MOM GIVES UPDATE ON IRIS SCANNING OF HER SON! Hi Diane,

I have been in touch with the principal at my son's school this morning regarding the iris scans. She verified everything my son told me, she says the scans were completed on May 22. She said that she was following instructions from the Polk County School Board (PCSB), and that she knew very little, if anything, about this before it occurred, she just did as she was told. She gave me the name and number for her two contacts at the PCSB whom she said were pulling these strings on this "security pilot program".

By the time we were able to make a phone call to PCSB (a time span of about 1 hour), the secretary told us that this pilot program had been suspended. When we did get a return call from one contact, she reiterated that the program has been suspended, like this should appease us. My husband continued to ask where our son's private scans were, and she said the company was instructed to destroy the information. When we asked how do we know this has happened, there was no answer.

It is interesting that this letter went home on Friday afternoon at 3pm. Like I told you originally, everyone was gone by 4pm when I tried to make calls. So when exactly did this program get suspended? As of Friday afternoon, it was still in effect. Are they trying to say that somehow it was suspended by Tuesday morning (Monday being a holiday)? It seems like they are mostly focused on this program, like the program was the problem. It's not, it's the invasion of my family's Constitutional right to privacy that is the problem, as well as the school allowing a private company access to my child without my consent or permission. This is stolen information, and we cannot retrieve it.

I know a lot of the FaceBook chatter was skeptical of my story, as well as you for forwarding this story without verification. I am now including two attachments of the forms that were sent home on Friday. The original form was two sided, which is why you can see some bleed-through. But what I have told you is 100% accurate and truthful. You are free to publicize these forms in any way you see fit. But I am asking you to please withhold my name still, as my family has not decided our next move. I do not want my name attached to this as of right now. This form went out to many students at 3 different schools, and from what we can gather, the scanning occurred on certain students in all 3 schools.

Can you please forward this email and the attachments to Dawn. Any advice you or Dawn can give me would be really appreciated, I think we have gotten all the answers from PCSB that they feel they are obligated to tell me, as they don't really think there's anything serious going on.

Thank you,
