This week Behind the Headlines sits down with Eagle-Tribune reporter Jill Harmacinski, who broke the story about a Lawrence School Department employee using an online database to snoop on people. Mark Rivera, former assistant to the superintendent resigned this week following public outcry. But what was really accessed through the system? How was the information being used? And will the city’s mayor step in? We talk about this and more in this week’s podcast.

    Schools, government offices, healthcare entities should review their policies restricting permission to users cleared with “need to know” access to information. It appears as though the assistant may have been “asked” to resign as I cannot believe if this individual truly was innocent of wrongdoing he would not have submitted his resignation.
