MEDIA RELEASE
Occasionally, members of the news media may visit schools to cover activities such as sport competitions, school assemblies, special programs and general newsworthy events. The law provides that when members of the news media are lawfully on campus, they may interview, photograph and/or film students. However, the law also provides that a student may decline to speak to the media and may refuse to be interviewed, filmed or photographed. When visits from the news media are prearranged, schools shall make every effort to notify parents in advance and to provide parents with the opportunity to authorize or to withhold permission for media access to their child.
