The margin of error in this headline is probably several hundred percent, or so it seems at least, when this is the methodology: "The Me2B team surveyed a few dozen so-called 'utility' apps for school districts - the kind that students and parents download to, say, review their school's calendar or bussing (sic) schedules - and found roughly 60% of them sharing." I mean, it's not good that any apps are illegitimately sharing data, but this article looks only at 'utility apps', and only a 'few dozen' of the hundreds that are out there, and are estimating data sharing only by looking at the list of software development kits (SDK) used by the apps, not actual sharing that may or may not happen.
