I read through the various forms at
http://inside.seattleschools.org/area/main/webinternet/webdocuments.xml
My comments are this:
We should separate internet access & web publishing. It's two different
issues. We should also make a distinction between SCHOOL web site
publishing & DISTRICT web site publishing. My impression is that lots of
people are fine with the SCHOOL taking/having/using photos of students but
they want more involvement once the DISTRICT is doing it....

Hi All,
I'd really appreciate if someone could answer a couple of questions I had
after reading
http://inside.seattleschools.org/area/main/webinternet/WPPfaq.xml:
"How much information about students can be posted on the web?
With the District Web Publishing Guidelines, it is assumed that the District
and schools have permission to publish student work, photographs, and
limited personal information unless a parent has turned in the form denying
permission. In most cases, this should be limited to the first name only,
especially when associated with a photograph. At the secondary level, there
may be instances in which full names could be used (i.e., athletic rosters,
school news, etc.)."
So, I can assume student photos can appear on school web sites without
asking parent permission, right?
Can I also assume that it is ok to associate a first name with a picture of
a student?
I understand that parents have the right to deny the above. I'd also like to
know how long teachers have to wait for parents to return a form denying
permission before they can go ahead and publish student work and/or photos.
Just wondering if all this is up to date, as the Word document linked from
http://inside.seattleschools.org/area/main/forms/webdocuments.xml
explaining the above is dated August, 2001, and I know there was quite a
stir last fall over the confusing student internet access form. Thanks -
Mark
