GEN: Teachers' email addresses on the Web

[Darcy Stepka <dstepka@BISHOPDIEGO.ORG>]

Dear all,
Somehow I missed the initial post about putting teachers' email
addresses on the school's web site and therefore wasn't able to respond.

Our school does put all faculty members' SCHOOL email on our web site.
This wasn't even questioned nor was the idea of opting out even brought
up. It was just done.

There are a couple teachers who never use their email and this was
solved by the webmaster. When someone clicks on the particular teachers'
names who don't answer email, a message pops up stating something to the
effect that making a phone call would be better and the site doesn't
allow mail to be sent to those particular teachers.

In practice, we've never had any problems so far. I've enjoyed the
access for my students and their parents. It's been a good thing, I
feel.

As an added note, I was out on medical leave for 3 months recently and
the webmaster posted my home email address (a new and separate one that
I created just for this purpose) on the page. This allowed me to stay in
contact with the school community without violating my  home email
privacy. It was really nice.
