The timing of the question is especially relevant with all the attention given to school communications and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parent\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parental<\/a> engagement.<\/p>\n<p> If a school is a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Privately_held_company\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">private enterprise<\/a>, should the general public be privy to school calendar information including daily <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Extracurricular_activity\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">school activities<\/a> and events?  Calendars help drive parental engagement, however, how much school information is too much to disclose to the outside world, especially if it pertains to the child\u2019s school? Should the privacy of the child and the classrom  be considered when displaying current school information on website calendars?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
