MBMS PTA Web Site Policies

  1. Student's names shall not be published in captions with images.

  2. Any images containing "recognizable facial features" of a student can only be used if an affirmative district photo release is on file with the school at which the student attends. (See online photo release form)
    An image with "recognizable facial features" is detailed enough to identify a student. An image is deemed "unrecognizable" if the image contains distant facial features or when the student is not directly facing the camera so that only a portion of the student's body is visible (ex: backs, hands, and feet).

  3. Each web page shall be reviewed by at least 2 people (other than the author). Reviews are two fold. They must be grammatically and semantically correct. Secondly, they must operate properly (text formatting, links, images, videos, animation, sound, etc.)

  4. Images on websites shall be limited in size to support 800x600 pixel displays and to minimize bandwidth overhead on the district's computer network and on the web server. Also the use of streaming video and audio shall also be kept to a minimum. Photos are kept to low resolutions (500x400 pixels, 72 DPI) to minimize download time. In addition, the low resolution photos are too poor in quality to be used in printed publications.

  5. No residential phone numbers are listed on web pages.

  6. Email addresses of PTA representatives may be posted on web pages but can be removed by request of the individual. PTA Officers and Committee Chairs are advised that their email address will be listed unless specifically requested.

  7. Web pages of Wednesday Packet newsletters or flyers must be reviewed and approved by the PTA President and the Principal. The deadline for flyers is Tuesday afternoon for Tuesday evening posting on the web site and inclusion on the weekly eNews broadcast message. Softcopy files are submitted to the web site developer via email attachments. Scanned document image are discouraged because they take too long to download.
