Bus Video Cameras

In accord with Board of Education policy, the district may install video cameras in the interior of district buses. The district believes that the presence of video cameras in school buses will enhance student safety and well-being and will ensure compliance with appropriate rules. The district's transportation director is responsible for reviewing the tapes to ensure that bus safety procedures are being followed and that the buses are being operated in accord with district guidelines and state law. Only authorized school personnel will review video tapes.

Any disciplinary action resulting from the use of the video cameras shall be determined by the misbehaving student's principal, who shall ensure that the district policy relating to discipline, including appropriate due process is followed.
