Absolutely nothing. In fact, a lot of this information is already available through telephone/government directories, school web pages, civil servant salary listings, etc. An argument can be made that this isn't personal information, it's merely the name, position, and business address of a government employee... something which the public should have a right to know.
Obviously the student comments part of the site is taking it one step further. But honestly, there's really nothing you can do about this, so my advice would be to practice ignorance and just not care about what disgruntled 7th graders think...
