Board to simplify student-image opt-out process and clarify posting controls

Feb 3, 2026

The board discussed confusion over a student-image opt-out that had been embedded on the emergency-contact form and agreed administrators should move the opt-out to a separate webpage/form with clearer instructions and a downloadable opt-out option while tightening posting controls.
