Tempest in a Talent Show, IV

So in a little over twelve hours I have a meeting with the head of the Brevard County School Board's Office of District & School Security. It's been nearly three weeks since I was first contacted by the principal of Sabal Elementary. Hopefully we can get this wrapped up at this meeting.

According to her personal assistant, the meeting is about "photographing school events as a professional photographer." It gives me an idea where they're coming from, but... the way I see it, I wasn't there in any official/professional capacity, and there was certainly no prior contract or any relationship with the school itself.

Hopefully it isn't a ruse to just slap handcuffs on me. That may seem overly paranoid... but we've all seen situations where all sense goes right out the window because children are involved. I'm torn between worrying too much about this and worrying that I'm not worrying enough about it.

Just think, all of this happened because a parent didn't like that I took pictures of their child. A child that they entered into a talent show that was open to the general public. A talent show that, in order for their child to participate, the parents had to sign a waiver acknowledging that their child would be photographed or videotaped.

...Sheesh.
