If Ms. Ellies actions is not breaking any rules in the process then there is little to be done. However, if she is breaking rules in the process, Mrs. Ford might want to reach out to administration to inform them of how Ms. Ellies has been handling her social media in regards to the students.

Another thing that I think would be important would be to get a waiver from the parents giving her consent to be able to post pictures of the students.

I think this type of contact is a great idea for teacher and parent relationship and communication. I agree that adding students on Facebook is odd, but depending on the student age it does not seem like a problem. Mrs. Ford should review school policy, but if Ms. Ellies is doing nothing wrong drop the situation and mind her own business.

If Ms. Ellies still doesn't comply then I would speak with the Principal.

She has given her insight on the situation but it is up to Ms. E to tone down her social media usage. If she happens to cross the line, and Mrs. Ford becomes aware of it, she should step in at that point.
