Victoria's Law mandates video surveillance in special education classrooms to enhance student safety.

Victoria's Law requires video surveillance equipment in certain special education classrooms in public schools. The law mandates that video cameras cover all classroom areas except bathrooms and changing areas, and record audio. Schools must notify staff and parents before activating cameras. Recordings are confidential and can only be viewed by specific individuals under certain circumstances. The law prohibits continual monitoring and using recordings for purposes other than student safety. Schools can solicit donations for camera placement.
