CONSIDER PRIVACY WHEN CONSIDERING COVERAGE Be especially careful when covering students enrolled in special education courses. These students probably wouldn’t be able to grant consent. Because enrollment in special education is an academic issue (and often a sensitive one at that), be extremely careful when identifying and discussing students by such a designation. Also be careful when identifying students who are in foster care or who are involved in custody battles between parents/ guardians. These types of situations are often riddled with privacy concerns that require consent from multiple parties.
