TO PARENTS OR GUARDIANS OF CHILDREN

IN THOMASVILLE CITY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

 

 

Occasionally representatives of the news media seek access to public schools within the Thomasville City 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 Thomasville City 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.  Be advised, while every effort will be made to honor your written request, it is necessary for parents or guardians to ensure their child or children understand that they are not to be filmed, taped, or interviewed and that they should make teachers and administrators aware of their objections when the need arises.
