Donate to Parent Data Force
Parent Data Force is an independent, one-person advocacy operation. Every dollar goes directly toward keeping the lights on and the data flowing — hosting, API costs, research tools, and the countless hours spent tracking systemic patterns across Massachusetts school districts.
Follow Parent Data Force on Facebook for updates on new cases, data releases, and advocacy alerts.
Why Your Support Matters
We've filed many PRS complaints, public records requests and appeals, and regularly speak at school committee meetings. We track public records compliance across multiple districts, maintain a database of 7,800+ school-level restraint records, and publish data-driven reporting that families use to advocate for their children. This work is powered by APIs, hosting, and tools that cost real money every month. Your donation keeps this watchdog running.

Other Ways to Help
File Public Records Requests
The most powerful tool we have is the public records law. We need more people filing PRRs in their own districts — every request builds a paper trail and establishes patterns. We can help you draft and submit requests.
Request Help Filing a PRR →Submit Documents & Data
Have school committee emails, IEP records, restraint reports, or other documents? Upload them securely — every document helps build the evidence record.
Upload Documents →Speak at Public Comment
School committee meetings have public comment periods. Speaking up about special education, restraint policies, and transparency puts pressure on districts. We can help you prepare remarks.
