Privacy at School, Policy No. 150

Printable PDF Board Policy 150

The board expects all actions and activities associated with the school to be conducted within the confines of the law and with the best interests of students and staff in mind.

To (a) ensure compliance with state and federal privacy laws,(b) reduce the risk of stifling the free exchange of ideas, (c) shield young people from potential embarrassment, and (d) otherwise limit the disruption of the educational environment for students and staff, the district does not permit the audio or visual recording of communications or activities occurring in classrooms, offices, or common areas during the regular school day without prior written consent of a district administrator and upon such terms and conditions deemed appropriate by the district administrator. Any person who believes that that consent has been unreasonably withheld may appeal the decision to the superintendent of schools, whose decision shall be final.
