Photographer and teacher/employee. Can they coexist?

Part of the problem with things like this can turn out to be: Nobody knows if there even ARE any issues, but it's nobody's job to figure out if there are any issues. Essentially, you wind up asking someone to take time out of their actual job to go work on some other job (namely: figure out that there are no issues) and you may be asking the organization to actually spend money on legal counsel for an opinion to the effect that there are no issues. Most people would prefer to let it go. And, not to put too fine of a point on it, if you were in their shoes you probably would as well.

It's not fair, it's not reasonable, but this can be a situation where none of the options are fair and reasonable for everyone, so the default is to do nothing.

You need photo sideline credentials for high school. I know that high school football is bigger in the US than Canada but here sideline accreditation doesn't start until University ball, and even then it's not a huge deal.

I wonder what country the OP is in?

Good question, 'though based on the way the way post is written, the US doesn't seem too much of a stretch to me...

I was taught Ass-u-me was not a safe approach.

It depends on the school. I have several that just don't care, but those with any good control on their stadium you have to have at the very least board approval to be on the sidelines

Thanks for the info on the schools, in Canada they would be thrilled to have anyone with a camera on the sidelines.
