In the US they do. Schools may have policies respecting privacy but the current case law around the First Amendment supercedes any laws against publishing photos or videos taken in public online. I know OP is in Italy tho.
OP isn’t in the US but you’re wrong here.
Even in public spaces schools are limited with what they can say or publish about kids FERPA. Including pictures. They must have explicit parental consent.

You’re misunderstanding policies vs laws. Their employees have to follow their policies to keep their jobs. There is no law preventing taking and sharing images taken in public places.
Yes, there is (for schools and their employees). I literally cited the law.
Thank you for the clarification, I humbly accept the correction. I guess I understand why it was written into law to force all schools to comply but when it is only enforceable upon school staff it still feels like a policy because it doesn’t affect the general public. But you are 100% correct.
