Our school issues a form that you must sign giving the school and staff consent to photograph you for yearbook and the school's web page...We never signed it, in fact I tore it up because I didn't want them putting my picture on their website...Well, They went ahead and did it anyways, I was Student of the Month for Feburary 2005 and they have my picture and my name under it on their website...Are they breaking the law, (since neither me nor my guardian signed the paper?)..I'm not really angry about it being on there, It's just the principle of the thing.

It was my school picture they used (the ones with the blue background and professional photographers), it was explained to me that the school gets a disc with everyone's school picture on it. And when I mentioned it to my yearbook teacher she just kind of shrugged it off as "yeah..you probably could get them in trouble"....but I'm not that upset over it...just the idea of it bothers me.

Didn't you notice them taking your picture?
Yes they could get into big trouble. The reason there are waivers out there is to protect people's privacy. Usually it is in situations of abusive non-custodial parents. they could get ahold of the yearbook and see you are attending that school. I would file a complaint with the school board if you have reason to be concerned. If not I wouldn't rock the boat with the school and save the fight for when it is an issue of importance to you.

What did they say when you brought it to their attention?
