Top of Form
A vice principal, Mr. Chiaro, is new to the school and district. He has noticed that teachers and other administrators very freely e-mail information about students to each other, to parents, and even to outside parties. It is a very small district and town where most people know each other, and no one has ever opposed this practice. Which of the following should Mr. Chiaro do?
| Allow the practice to continue since everyone is in agreement and there have been no problems in the past. | |
| Advocate for the creation of new procedures and guidelines that may assist educational practitioners as they make decisions regarding the responsible use of students’ confidential information. |
| Restrict any further communication about students via e-mail and require teachers to attend a class about proper email use. |
