The analysis says that Pearson and ETS have lobbies against privacy protection for student data; Pearson, it says, “continued to monitor” what impact the “legislative and regulatory activity on the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act” would have on its products, according to the corporation’s federal lobbying reports from 2013. It also says that in 2014, ETS lobbied heavily for the introduction of a statewide testing system in California and against a bill requiring test agencies to “immediately initiate an investigation” after complaints on “inadequate” testing conditions, while also lobbying against a bill designed to safeguard pupil data when Local Education Agencies (LEAs) sign contracts with third-party entities.
