During the school year, the news media may visit your school to cover special events and Minneapolis Public Schools may wish to use your child’s photograph, voice or student work for promotional and educational reasons, such as in publications, posters, brochures and newsletters; on the district or school web site, radio station or Cable TV channel; or at community fairs.
In addition, you may want your child’s picture in your school’s yearbook. Having a picture taken at school is not enough to ensure that your child’s picture will be in a school yearbook. Your permission is required.
Because of state law, a school must obtain your permission before your child’s photograph or voice can be used for either purpose. Your permission once given will be in force as long as your student is continuously enrolled in a Minneapolis Public School or until you inform the school that you withdraw your permission.
Please indicate whether you give permission to use your child’s photograph, student work or voice for either or both of these purposes. You may decide to give permission for both purposes, or for only one purpose.
If you do not complete this form, your child’s photograph will not be used by the media and will not appear in the class section of the school yearbook. If you wish to cancel your permission at any time, contact your school office for the appropriate form.
