    --- TIC-TECH message:
    It is true that the district will be using a negative check-off system next
    year,which is a good thing. But student photos on school web sites is not
    addressed in this form. Will SSD issue guidelines for schools on this issue?
    At Hay we issued our own permission slip for students to have thier digital
    photos on our website. But I am always nervous not knowing if the district
    will back us up should it become an issue. How do other schools deal with
    student photos on the web?
