Can schools release the names of school council members, for example, in a school newsletter?
• Like school staff, school council members should be notified of why their personal information (e.g. name, phone number) is being collected, how it will be used, and to whom it will be disclosed. Information may then be released accordingly. • Schools should discuss with council members how their personal information will be used, for example, whether home phone numbers will be released, and to whom. • For an elected member of the council, there is an expectation that the individual’s name and contact information will be available to anyone.
