Question:

A school principal has a teacher’s private (non-school) email. Should the principal be giving out the teacher’s email to other staff members without the teacher’s permission?

Answer: (from Scott Welch, founder of Edsby)

Not only is this almost certainly a violation of the privacy rules at the school, but using private email accounts for official school business is absolutely against the school and district policy.

I have supplied email and collaboration software to schools for over 30 years, including supplying five of the ten largest districts in the USA, as well as several countries.
