Photography Guidelines

If using photos not provided by district marketing, a photo release must be signed by students, faculty members, employees, and members of the public. The release and photo must be archived in the marketing department. This applies to all photos that are taken where individuals are easily recognized. Posting signs or verbal approvals are not acceptable.
Failing to secure a signed release may result in potential litigation. Any student under 18 years old must have a legal parent/guardian sign a photo release on their behalf.
