Q: Is it legal for a school to say we are mandated by law to use their app for notices from the principle and teachers?
We had issues last year when we realized that my child’s teacher at the time was posting pictures she kept taking of the class on a school app that is used by the as well as all parents and listing my child’s full name and everything . And because we have privacy concerns since we have a confidentiality order with family court against someone that isn’t supposed to even get pictures of my child let alone know our location but someone he knew got a hold of some of the pictures the teacher was posting of my child and sent them to them and I was being harassed about my child’s teacher and pictures etc from the person who isn’t even supposed be having these per court order .. so i have since deleted and removed my self from their app and raised complaints to them about why I will not use the app because I don’t feel my child’s information is safe and keep getting told I can be taking to court for no compliance with the law …. I’ve never heard of such law saying we are required to use it
A: There could be a couple of different ways to look at this - it is more a privacy law question than an education law question. A starting point could be to check with your attorney (the one associated with the court order). They would know better than anyone on a public forum the scope of what the order can cover and reach. Good luck
