Publications Permission Opt-Out
The District uses an “opt out” procedure for publication permissions. Photographs and videos or voice recordings of students and staff are taken throughout the year for use on the district website, newsletters, and social media sites, as well as shared with local media outlets (both print and online). In addition, the District celebrates our students’ success by sharing news of notable achievements with the community. If you do not want your child photographed or videotaped for District 109 use, or his or her name included when he or she is honored for achievement, you must submit an email stating that you do not grant any publication permissions to District 109. Send that email to Eric Steckling, Director of Communications at esteckling@dps109.org. Please include your child(ren)’s name(s), as well as their school and grade for the 2020-2021 school year. Please send your opt out notification by Friday, August 21, 2020.
