Beginning circa 2010, I would call the NYS Comptroller's Office and the NYC Comptroller's Office to request audits of the NYC Department of Education's IT security, as the 2004 audit and re-audits identified major gaps and problems. My last post criticizing the absence of any current audit was published in 2023.
They actually were conducting an audit between 2020 - 2025 and the state has just released the public part of the audit report.

State audit slams NYC schools for lack of student data privacy oversight
NYC schools don’t have a clear understanding of what student data they collect or who can access it, according to a state comptroller audit. It raises concerns as more third-party platforms — including AI tools — are introduced.
