This is the best summary I could come up with:
A tech company is apologizing after trans students were "outed" to their classmates because of an data error that affected eight school divisions in Saskatchewan.
She immediately started making calls, trying to figure out how to have the names corrected and learn who was responsible.
Edsby takes your student data security very seriously and supports your preference to identify as you choose," said a company spokesperson in a written statement.
The glitch occurred on Aug. 10, 2023, but Edsby did not learn of the problem until Thursday, when students began noticing issues and the company was called out.
The Edsby spokesperson said the company "regrets the poor timing of this issue, given Saskatchewan's new parental consent requirements."
On Tuesday, Saskatchewan's education minister announced a new policy dictating that students under the age of 16 who want to change their pronouns or names must obtain parental consent.
