Public Notice to Parents With Children in Mobile County Public Schools

Occasionally representatives of the news media seeks access to public schools within the Mobile County Public School System.  Quite often, these visits involve filming, taping and interviewing students.  Further, students are sometimes filmed, taped or interviewed in the production of educational or promotional material for use by the Mobile County Public School System.  If you object to your child or children being filmed, taped or interviewed, you must notify the principal of your school in writing prior to the opening of school in September.  Be advised, while every effort will be made to honor your written request, it is necessary for parents to ensure their children understand that they are not to be filmed, taped or interview and that they should make the teachers and administrators aware of their objections when the need arises.
