S.4763

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

Victoria's Law requires video surveillance cameras in special education classrooms in New Jersey public schools to enhance student safety. These cameras must cover all classroom areas except bathrooms and changing areas, and record audio from all areas. Schools must notify staff and parents before activating cameras. Recordings are confidential and can only be viewed or released under specific conditions, such as by parents, guardians, or school employees involved in an incident. The law prohibits continual monitoring and using recordings for purposes other than student safety.
