PUBLICATIONS, VIDEO, INTERNET CONSENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

Students who attend school in the Sharon Springs Central School District are occasionally asked to be a part of school and/or District publicity, publications and/or public relations activities. In order to guarantee student privacy and ensure your agreement for your student to participate, the District asks that you and the student sign and return the SSCS Student Handbook Acknowledgement Agreement.

Your signature of the SSCS Student Handbook Acknowledgement Agreement indicates approval for the student’s name, picture, art, written work, voice, verbal statements or portraits (video or still) to appear in school publicity or District publications, videos or on the District’s website (compliant with Ed Law 2D). For example, pictures and articles about school activities may appear in local newspapers or district publications. These pictures and articles may or may not personally identify the student. The pictures and/or videos may be used by the district in subsequent years.

Sharon Springs Central School District agrees that the student’s name, picture, art, written work, voice, verbal statements, portraits (video or still) shall only be used for public relations, public information, school or district promotion, publicity, and instruction.

Student and Parent/Guardian understand and agree that:

• No monetary consideration shall be paid;

• Consent and release have been given without coercion or duress;

• This agreement is binding upon heirs and/or future representatives;

• The photo, video, or student statements may be used in subsequent years.

If the Student and Parent/Guardian wish to rescind this agreement they may do so at any time with written notice.
