A Montgomery County school information technology administrator has apologized for mistakenly allowing pictures, phone numbers and student identification numbers of at least 16 elementary school students to be posted online.
The students' personal information remained online for months. The children attended Wood Acres Elementary in Bethesda.
The school district said the images were part of a PowerPoint presentation given at an out-of-state conference. A website associated with the U.S. Department of Commerce later linked to that presentation.
A spokesman said the link has been taken down and such an error will not happen again.
