LOCKER ROOM PRIVACY

School locker rooms are provided for the use of physical education students, athletes and other activity groups or individuals authorized by the building principal or Board of Education policy. The District recognizes the privacy rights of individuals using school locker rooms and shall take reasonable measures to protect an individual’s privacy.

• Under no circumstances may cameras, video recorders or other recording devices be used in the locker room. Also, no person may use a cell phone to capture, record or transfer a representation of a nude or partially nude person in the locker room or to take any other photo or video image of a person in the locker room.
• No media representatives or other individuals (e.g., college scouts) are allowed access to locker rooms before, during or after any school athletic event or practice. Coaches and student athletes may be available for interviews at an alternate location outside the locker rooms, consistent with district policy and school rules.

Anyone who violates this policy shall be subject to school disciplinary action and/or penalties under state law.

The building principal or designated locker room supervisor, as applicable, shall be responsible for enforcing this policy.

This policy shall be published annually in all student handbooks, and posted at the entrance to each locker room in the district.
