If a child transfers to another school system, records will
be forwarded after notification of enrollment is received
from the new school.
reinspections and a certified asbestos management planner
reviewed the results. The results of the reinspections are
on file in the school district administration office as part
of the asbestos management plan. The management plan
is available for viewing by the public during regular school
hours (Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.).
MEDIA NOTIFICATION
Our students, educational programs, school events, and
community-oriented activities are sometimes made the
subject of recording by video, audio, photography, and the
like for use as instructional and informational tools. Since
the schools are public buildings, students
are frequently the subject of
video and audio recording,
interviewing, and/or
photographing. In
addition, our
students’ work
is sometimes
published in
print and/or
the electronic
media. The
district will allow
students to be
recorded, interviewed, and/or photographed
and students’ work to be published for legitimate public
purposes.
Throughout the school year, students may be recorded,
interviewed, and/or photographed by representatives
from newspapers, television stations, and radio stations,
as well as district communications office personnel or
their designees and these items may be publicly displayed.
Students and their work and photographs may also appear
in print media and/or electronically on places such as
public websites, social media, and through broadcasts.
If parents/guardians object to such publication, a written
objection must be filed. The district will not deliberately
publish a child if a written objection has been filed.
The district will also make a reasonable effort to avoid
publication by any third party. It is understood that
the district certainly has no control of the news media
or others outside of the school organization. Student
participation in school activities, especially athletics and
other competitive events, increases the likelihood of
publication of stories and images of those students.
Written objections must be filed at the beginning of each
school year with the Coordinator of Communications,
Fox Chapel Area School District, 611 Field Club Road,
Pittsburgh, PA 15238. If a written objection has been
filed in the past, a new letter of objection must still be
filed each year. If parents/guardians do not file a written
objection, their silence will serve as implied consent.
