It's covered in the article. The school district has a contract with Thompson Reuters Clear. And here's more general information on that service:

Key bit:

"With LPR intelligence tools such as Thomson Reuters license plate recognition, corporate crime professionals have the ability to share and request the sharing of commercial LPR data with other corporations."

Eg. Flock and Vigilant Solutions.

Shouldn't be information the school district has a right to access. It's none of their business where a person's car is parked over night. I really hope society pushes back on surveillance.

Chicken and egg - this is a symptom of inequality in the schooling system. The school is trying to defend a particular status quo. If your schools were funded differently (eg not from hyper-local district property taxes, maybe redistributed equally at the state level), parents would feel less pressure to compete for 'better' school positions.

It seems like overreach, to say the least.

This is information that SHOULDNT EXIST.

That’s fucking crazy.
