CARY, N.C. – The Wake County school board wants to ban students from taking photos or videos while in school.

The board is considering a revision to its technology policy, which is proposed to read, “students would be prohibited from taking pictures or videos with any device unless directed by a teacher,” WNCN reports.

The school district is also proposing students “will also be prohibited from using the school system’s technology for bullying against another student or school employee.”

“We know that kids have phones in school and are using them,” school board member Monika Johnson-Hostler tells the Charlotte Observer. “We need to be clear and cautious about what we say about using personal devices.”

The district is seeking to crack down on producing, posting and sending what it deems to be “inappropriate or offensive material.”

That, of course, is open to interpretation.

The rule change would potentially make posting a picture of a skimpy school lunch a violation of the rules. Would the school district consider that embarrassment to be “inappropriate”?

So, too, would a student taking a video of a questionable lesson likely be a violation. Would that be “offensive” to the teacher?

Despite the proposal being considered by the board, there’s confusion about what it actually means and where it would apply.

The Observer reports:

David Neter, Wake’s chief business officer, said he thinks the intent was to restrict unauthorized photos and videos in classrooms as opposed to lunchrooms. But board members said the policy makes no distinction between the two situations.

School board member Bill Fletcher said it can be helpful when students take pictures of fights that can be used by the district to find out what happened.

But Cathy Moore, deputy superintendent for school performance, said it can be unhelpful when students post videos of fights online.

School board member Kevin Hill questioned the enforceability of the photography rule, considering how the technology policy says students must comply with it when using any district technology or personal devices on school grounds and at school-sponsored activities.

“Yeah, I’m going to be walking through the stands of a football game to see who is taking selfies,” Hill says.

“School-sponsored activities to me are just wide open,” he adds. “I don’t know how to solve it, but if I were a principal I’d be looking like, ‘Oh, my goodness.’”
