District 116
Adopted: 7/10/02
Video Cameras on Transportation Vehicles
The board recognizes the
district’s continuing responsibility to maintain and improve discipline, and
ensure the health, welfare, and safety of its staff and students on school
transportation vehicles.
The board, after having carefully weighed and
balanced the rights of privacy of students and staff with the district’s duty
to ensure discipline, health, welfare, and safety of staff and students on
school transportation vehicles, supports the use of video cameras on its
transportation vehicles.
Video cameras may be used to monitor student
behavior on school transportation vehicles transporting students to and from
curricular and extracurricular activities.
Such equipment may also be used to monitor
the performance of district employees in the fulfillment of their duties on
school transportation vehicles transporting students to and from curricular and
extracurricular activities.
Students in violation of district conduct
rules shall be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with established
board policy and administrative regulations governing student conduct and
discipline.
Staff shall be subject to established board
personnel policies, administrative regulations, and collective bargaining
agreements including provisions related to evaluation, discipline, and
dismissal.
Video recordings, depending on how they are
used in student disciplinary proceedings, may become a part of a student’s
education record. In such cases, the
district shall comply with all applicable state and federal laws related to
education records. Such records shall
also be subject to established district procedures regarding education records
including access, review, and release of such records.
The superintendent shall develop procedures
for the notification of staff, students, parents, and others as necessary of
the use of video cameras on school transportation vehicles and such other
procedures as may be required for the implementation of this policy.
