The Issue

As a concerned parent with a child enrolled in the Randolph NJ school district, I find it alarming and deeply unsettling that Lifetouch, a company connected to Jeffrey Epstein, continues to be the vendor for our school's picture days. Knowing that childhood memories captured in school pictures should be cherished and safe, the revelation of Lifetouch's association with a known criminal threatens this sense of security and trust.

Our children's safety must always remain the top priority. This large scale exposure demands that we scrutinize and reevaluate our associations for the welfare of our children. The unsettling connection of Lifetouch calls for immediate action to vet and engage with a new, reputable photography vendor.

Independent investigations and reports have confirmed Lifetouch's past links, and this tarnished reputation cannot be ignored. Experts have repeatedly stressed the importance of making cautious, informed decisions when it comes to any association with service providers for educational institutions. Educational leaders and stakeholders should not overlook the significant impact this might have on our community's faith and trust in the school system.

Our ask is simple yet profound: cancel all upcoming class picture days in the Randolph NJ school district until a thorough review and sourcing of a new vendor has been conducted. It is essential to ensure transparency, establish new contracts with vendors that are thoroughly vetted for their history and affiliations, and communicate openly with parents and guardians throughout this process.

For the sake of our children's safety and the peace of mind of our community, it is imperative that we act now. Join us in advocating for the cessation of Lifetouch's services in our schools. Let us prioritize our children's safety and demand accountability and integrity from those who serve our educational environment. Sign this petition and stand with us to make a meaningful change.
