PHOTOGRAPHS/PICTURES | Administrative Guideline Manual

9120B - PHOTOGRAPHS/PICTURES

The District has a need for photographs for use in personnel records, student records, school newsletters, general public information, and the like.

This guideline shall, at all times, in the case of student photographs, be administered consistent with the District's student records policy concerning the designation of directory data and with respect to student or parental opt out procedures. See Board Policy 8330 - Student Records.

Whenever possible, a recent photograph should be obtained from each staff member and from each new staff member, upon employment. The photo shall be kept in the staff member's personnel file for use primarily in publicity about the staff member and/or the District.

Commercial use of personal photographs shall be prohibited without specific approval of the parent and/or staff member. Group photographs of a general nature may be used for public relations and media press releases; however, individual photographs require a written approval from the parent/staff member prior to use.
