Legal Question in Education Law in Iowa

Here is a question that came up in the teacher's lounge.

Parents are able to request that their children's picture in not put

in the yearbook. Does a staff person have the right to request that

their picture is not included in the yearbook. Some staff said yes,

others no, that it is for the kids and the advisor can include any

pictures of staff that he wants. Also, what if you ask not to be

included and it is put in anyway.

I said I would email your office and get a ruling. What is the

procedure for opting out if there is one. Thank-you.
