County Schools’ policy does not require parental permission for
students to be photographed, videotaped and/or interviewed by system
employees or media on routine school topics, activities for public
information, awards, and honors of instructional and/or promotional
purposes. Parental permission must be given, however, to photograph,
videotape and/or interview children with physical or mental disabilities
if they will be identified as children with physical or mental
disabilities. Parents, guardians or eligible students may request not to
be photographed, videotaped and/or interviewed by notifying the school
in writing.
