Re: target:WWW student privacy?

I attended an outstanding presentation today by Jamie McKenzie from
Seattle. He discussed the concept of Board Policy as distinct from AUP's
and mentioned this issue.   His stance is that he does not mention kids
by name and he does not post photos except of anonymous groups of
students. He sends home a permission form for parent and student to sign
for permission to post work, perhaps a piece of art work, on the school
WEB site.

The address for his school district is: http:www.bham.wednet.edu

My guess is that each school district may take a somewhat different view,
but it's a question that should be addressed.
