The Board’s goals are to promote and foster a safe, secure teaching and learning environment for students and employees; to promote public safety for community members who visit or use school property; and to safeguard facilities and property. Security cameras may be placed in parking lots, school entryways and other areas on school grounds. Security cameras may also be placed in areas of common use within buildings, including but not necessarily limited to, school foyers, the school office, hallways, cafeterias, libraries and gymnasiums. Security cameras may be used for the following purposes: 1. To investigate suspected violations of Board policies or school, or other inappropriate conduct. 2. To monitor activities on school property to protect safety and to enforce school rules, policies and the law. 3. By law enforcement to address school safety issues or to investigate possible criminal behavior. Notices will be posted in public entryways to the building and other conspicuous locations informing persons that the buildings and grounds are monitored by security cameras. The Superintendent may develop and implement any necessary administrative procedures regarding the use of security cameras.
