Re: Student name on homepage

[Madeline Buchanan <mlbuchan@SCOTT.NET>]

At the first of the year I put student pictures on our school's homepage.
I did not identify any student by name but if a person went to the link I
had on library activities, I had a group of students pictured looking
through books, using the computer, etc.  I was told by my board of
education that I must have parental permission even to include their
child's picture on the Internet, regardless if their name was used or not.

Needless to say, I removed all students' pictures from the homepage.
