Members of the media
All requests for interviews, event coverage, etc., must be approved in advance by Allentown School District Communications.
Before visiting a school, please request approval by contacting Communications.
Staff requesting media coverage of an event or school-based initiative should also seek approval from Communications.
Media Information for Staff Parents / Guardians
Parents/Guardians will be notified in advance of individual student interviews for external media organizations or any other situations where an outside organization or community partner may be taking photographs of specific students.
Please note: Prior to 2020, students had to sign a photo release form to allow their photos to be used. The Allentown School District has now switched to an OPT-OUT form, meaning you will only need to complete the form if you DO NOT give permission for your child to be photographed.
