Thank you for the replies. The statements confirm my understanding of what a teacher's responsibility is before publishing a student's picture. However, social networking sites such mine which were created by a staff member with the organization's name, raise the question one level higher. Does the responsibility for having the release fall with the teacher and end there or does the organization that maintains the Ning network need to have the releases on file.

Thank you for the replies. The statements confirm my understanding of what a teacher's responsibility is before publishing a student's picture. However, social networking sites such mine which were created by a staff member with the organization's name, raise the question one level higher. Does the responsibility for having the release fall with the teacher and end there or does the organization that maintains the Ning network need to have the releases on file. Of course the answer I want to hear is that the person posting the picture is responsible to obtain the release. Because of the client base of a Ning, in our case is spread all across a state, it will be somewhat hard to manage if I feel I have to have them send the release for every student in a picture. For now, I'll just say no recognizable images of students should be published. Thanks again for brain storming this issue with me. Agree with Cory.

Agree with Cory. Recently a magazine article was done on my classroom/program. Even though each student had a photo release on file the photographer took great photos from the <u>back</u>---so kids faces aren't shown. You can definately see what's going on but no faces.<br />

At the beginning of the year we get permission slips signed to cover all options--publish student work online (many don't know you can't publish student work for kids under 18 without parent permission), publish student photo or likeness, email addresses, permission to blog, photo release to news media, penpals. Then we don't have to think about it.

I would draft a new permission slip to parents explaining everything, then inform the educators part of the Ning to only use photos of students that have a signed permission slip. Legally a signed permission slip is the only thing that would stand up in court.
