to inform the school?

Bit of an awkward one but I am friends with loads of people on facebook. Various sets of parents from the same school have been putting photos of children's leavers assembly on there. Today a parent also placed it on youtube. I understand about people wanting to see their own children etc but one clip is of all 45 children that are leaving the school and is a montage of photos of all children on starting and leaving the school. I am a governor at this school and felt the school needed to be aware of this as the disc containing photos is copyrighted to the school. One parent has now removed me from facebook etc as she told me she was annoyed that somebody had said anything and I explained it was me and why. Was I being unreasonable?

If your child attends a school function where the school allows photography or filming by parents, the school has no say on where the images end up or who gets to view them.

Either the school has to say no filming / photography or your child does not attend the function.

it not parents photos it schools photos it not to be put on social network sites

megawoman YANBU to have raised it with the school. I'm not a governor and I'd have mentioned it to the HT at our school if the situation had arisen here.
