Re: Parents posting videos on You Tube or Facebook of School Activities

Just a few questions for you about your concerns. It's to help bring up
thoughts and consequences of trying to police Youtube for your school.

- How do you tell parents not to post videos on Youtube taken with their own
cameras?
- How would you enforce a policy of not having parents post videos on
Youtube?
- Would you ban the parents from the school or events if they don't comply?
- Is it worth the risk of losing tuition and endowments in the future
because of a youtube thing?
- Do you want to act as your school's Youtube police?
- What right does the school have to tell this parent not to post videos on
Youtube or Facebook?
- Do you want lawyers involved in helping you police your school's Youtube
videos if parents don't comply?

Something to think about...
