Yes, there are lots of rules but they only apply if they want them to. If they don't care, the rules go away.
If there were rules, even terrible ones, we could use a technically consistent system to fight back.
But that's not the case. They will ban you from entering the school in the face of clear legislation guaranteeing your right to observe, and then cite "privacy concerns" to avoid discussing specific issues. No kidding, a group of parents at my school were completely shut down because we wanted to talk to people about their experience around bullying in the school.
