This is just a friendly reminder that when communicating with fellow teachers about non work issues such as union issues, state budgets etc. that you should use your home e-mail account and home personal computer. A few stories have been running in the news the last couple days about groups submitting FOIA requests for schools e-mails. When writing e-mails using school computers, e-mail accounts, and time always remember to write as if the e-mail would be read on the evening news for the whole world to hear.
This is a big grey area and some schools have co operated and others have tried to fight the FOIA. It is better to be safe then sorry. For more information on the happenings check out the articles below.
