Hi Sharon,
I just tried to call you to give you an update on another contact from Lisa Demer. She wanted to know the exact date that Bristol lelt West. I refused to give that to her based on the Family Rights Act, FERPA, that governs student records. I told her our attorney advised me not to give her any more information than I did before (I told her that Bristol enrolled January 7, 2008 and withdrew May 7, 2008. She was frustrated but I told her I could not give any more information to her without parental consent. I don’t know if she will try and get the info another way, but I did want you and the governor to know. Carol

What the heck are they trying to get at here?/REDACTED (About two sentences removed here) lREDACTED And lisa doesn,t need to know any of this, of course, but I think we have the right to know what the heck she’s trying to piece together on her fishing expedition.

I really thought I could not be any more disgusted with the Daily News. Superintendant Carol Comeau just called me to let me know that Lisa Deemer called her asking about Bristol’s attendance at West High. Carol checked with the school district attorneys to see if she could withhold the information, she could not. I am sure a very unpleasant article is in the works.

No, it sounds like they are putting together a timeline of pregnancies.

Perhaps the sarcastic Anastasia press release to call attention to the Daily News shenanigans and to launch a preemptive strike on the story?
Just got a call from Becky Hultberg at Providence. Lisa is trying to pry loose more medical informatiion. Becky says they’ve refused to provide anything that wasn’t already public.

Hmmmm. Well, we don’t use Providence (Dr. CBJ is employed there though), but Bristol did see a doc there at the beginning of her pregnancy before she told me about it and switched to a Valley doc.., she thought it would be more confidential that way :)
Wonder what angle they’re on w Providence.

It was something about a letter that was released during the campaign; Lisa was looking for more, but Becky said they were sticking to that.

That was my medical records summary maybe? I know that was released.
Thank you Lisa for your efforts in trying to get to the bottom of this. It's a shame your efforts were stonewalled.
