In the interest of preserving the privacy rights of the child and to ensure the least disruption of the learning process , the following guidelines are established :
1 . Anyone wishing to observe a classroom must contact the administration of the school prior to the observation .
2 . In considering requests for classroom observation , the primary responsibility of the administration shall be to avoid disruption of the learning environment and , to that end , the administration shall , in its good judgment , apply the test of reasonableness .
3 . When an observer is visiting a class , he / she is an observer only and should not interfere with the lesson presentation . If there are any questions , the observer should address them to the teacher and / or school administrator outside the classroom setting .
4 . Audio and video tape-recording or photographing of classroom activities by third parties may be disruptive of the educational process and may invade the privacy rights of students and will therefore not generally be allowed . Exceptions to these guidelines may be made by the Administration , subject to reasonable restrictions , as the Administration may adopt concerning a particular request .
