Privacy concerns at CDC Child Development Center moves for more strict photo policy

SAMANTHA BRAVO News Editor @sammybravo93

Professors in the Pierce College Child Development Center are currently in the process of implementing a new policy that will ban students from taking photos of children in the center.

The issue was discussed at a Los Angeles Community College District and Child Development District Discipline Committee meeting on Feb. 19.

Pierce College Child Development Center director and instructor, Phyllis Schneider filed a complaint to the committee opposing the photography of children by students in the program, including for assignments.

Children in child care settings are owed a degree of confidentiality and their information should not come out of the center’s files,
