The Board of Education recognizes the District's continuing responsibility to maintain and improve discipline and to promote the health, welfare, and safety of its staff and students.
After having weighed carefully and balanced the rights of privacy of students with the District's duty to promote discipline, health, welfare, and safety of staff and students, the Board supports the use of video cameras on its transportation vehicles and in District schools.
Video cameras may be used to monitor student behavior in school facilities and on school vehicles transporting students to and from school.
Students in violation of conduct rules shall be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with established Board policy and regulations governing student conduct and discipline.
The District shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws related to video recordings when such recordings are considered for retention as part of the student's behavioral record as determined by the District and in accordance with law.
Video surveillance shall be used only to promote the order, safety, and security of students, staff, and property.
