By mandate of NC Law Senate Bill 49 / SL 2023-106:
Beginning January 1, 2024 - for your child to have their picture/video/audio-recording taken, the student's parent/guardian has to Opt-In their child.
The model release form also permits your child to be in the yearbook or included in any school-related social media. While opting in is not mandatory, students who aren't opted in will not appear in any new media content produced by the school or district. You can locate this form inside the Materials Section -> "Mandatory" folder -> "updated model release form"
This means we will need your explicit consent for your child's participation in activities where their photos may be taken and used in school materials such as yearbooks, Facebook posts, and other educational or promotional content. To streamline this process, we are introducing digital Model Release forms through our app's 'Rooms' feature (also accessible online at edurooms.com). This approach ensures easy access for you and efficient record-keeping for the school.
