Overview
- Temple ISD in Texas canceled all contracts with Lifetouch, and Waco ISD postponed picture days pending a review.
- Mount Pleasant Area School District in Pennsylvania ended its agreement and said fall photos remain school property and yearbook work continues.
- Metro Detroit districts, including Dearborn Public Schools, Redford Union, and Wyandotte, paused or canceled services this week while they investigate.
- Lifetouch says it is not named in the DOJ documents, no Apollo personnel have access to student images, and the company has never shared photos with third parties.
- News outlets reviewing the DOJ trove report no evidence children’s photos were accessed inappropriately, even as at least 10 districts across multiple states take precautionary steps and some, like Utah’s Weber School District, continue with Lifetouch after vetting.
