Board approves policy 7210 on use of student and employee images after brief debate
Summary
The board voted to adopt Policy 7210, "Acquisition and Use of Student or Employee Name and Image," following policy‑committee review; the measure passed after a roll call vote with multiple members expressing either support or concern about the policy’s robustness.
The Alpine School District Board of Education voted to adopt Policy 7210, titled “Acquisition and Use of Student or Employee Name and Image,” after a policy‑committee review and brief discussion.
District legal counsel Craig Binkerhoff and staff told the board the policy was reviewed by the policy committee and that required protections — including parental permission via Skyward and procedures for revoking permission — were included in the policy and its procedures.
Board member Sarah Beeson moved to approve Policy 7210; Board member Ada Wilson seconded. During discussion, one board member said the Skyward permission language was adequate; another said the policy was not robust enough and voted no. The board conducted a roll call; the chair summarized that a majority voted in favor and declared the policy adopted.
Board members discussed the possibility of further refinement in the practice procedures if members wanted to propose additional protections or clarifications later. The board chair said any suggested changes could be addressed in the practice section rather than in the policy wording itself.
The board did not document specific additional language at the meeting but allowed members to bring practice‑level recommendations forward in the future.
