Major Data Breach After Hellgate High Football Meeting

[PlayerRep]

Wow, following a meeting regarding Hellgate high football, an assistant principal sent, by mistake, an email to 28 parents with an incredible amount of sensitive and private information regarding students.

"It began with a review of the football meeting, which was followed by a list of students who have been tardy or absent an excessive number of times.

Other information included the names of students in school-based mental health counseling, as well as students diagnosed with developmental disabilities and others who are involved in family-abuse cases.

Another list detailed detentions, suspensions or other disciplinary measures taken for more than 300 students, as well as the nature of their infractions, including alleged alcohol and drug use, possession of weapons and thefts.

The file also included a single page of a performance evaluation for a teacher, followed by a list of students who are not compliant with immunization requirements and the names of students who are failing classes.

A long list of students who need to schedule individual education program meetings was also included."

Major problems and liability? I wonder what they decided regarding football. Does Hellgate have any Griz recruits now?

Probably the most dangerous weapon of mass destruction today is the email "send" button.

It is also illuminating how much knowledge of individuals school bureaucrats command and how much a high school has to manage these days with regard to personal lives. These are less and less "schools" and more and more far-ranging social services agencies. I understand Hellgate dropped football for the coming year after 50 kids quit earlier in the season. Bob Casey died recently; was coach in the early 1970s at Hellgate. First coach of a brand new program as Hellgate became a stand-alone high school. He and Coach Ash could have been twins in terms of demeanor; but Casey always fielded credible teams.

:roll: What does this have to do with Griz Football or the FCS? One line asking a question about recruits?

Move this to the locker room or politics thread.

Sounds like they are petitioning the MHSA to just play a sub-varsity schedule next year. Not sure what that is going to do for them. Missoula high schools are the 3 smallest in the state. The logical thing to do is to close one of the high schools completely. This would save administrative and faculty costs, and would at least make them competitive. The problem is that the logical school to close would be Hellgate. Most expensive building to maintain, no parking, no room to expand, most valuable real estate for the School District to recoup some of their costs. Unfortunately, Hellgate is also probably the most politically active (and not on the conservative side) school in the state. It will never happen.

And then there is Missoula's "open campus" policy. Don't work to make things better. Just change schools. :roll:

The status of football at a Missoula high school, as well as potential recruits at that high school, is very relevant to UM football. The Griz have had multiple good players out of Hellgate, as have the Cats. My posting of this article, prompted responses about what Hellgate is apparently thinking of doing with football.

This is a completely relevant topic--and it's the off-season. I've never understood anal people on an internet message board.

Don't open the thread if you don't want to read it.

Nope. No recruits at Hellgate....something EVERYONE knows. Not Griz related...not FCS related. Wrong place to post. Not hard.

Now I am done...not going to argue with you. Not worth another second of my time.

What about Josh Jacobson, 6'3", 280 d-lineman? Isn't he pretty good. He must be getting recruited at some level. Possible walk-on at UM. I don't know. Just had heard of him and have seen his highlight tape.

Griz recruited Zach Peevey in 2012 from Hellgate, Jesse Ginn in 2011 and recently Kole Swartz who died tragically this past spring. Chance Geery was also a prospect from Hellgate. Hellgate's long time basketball coach was Eric Hays, the hero of the 1975 epic finals battle with UCLA, and of course Tres Tinkle is finishing out his bb career at Hellgate. Of course, its where most of the faculty and coach's kids attend high school, and so it is locally important to UM.

Swartz's funeral this past spring was held in Washington Grizzly Stadium. Bob Stitt attended.

How the hell was this all attached in one email? I have hundreds of things that I have to keep track of in document or spreadsheet form and if they aren't related, not only do they not go on the same sheet, they don't even go in the same folder. Someone will probably not be employed anymore.

No kidding. I agree fully.
