Tennessee SB1894 mandates video surveillance in special education classrooms for safety but requires parental consent for continuous monitoring.
Tennessee SB1894 amends state law to require local education agencies and public charter schools to install and maintain video camera surveillance systems in special education classrooms to promote student safety. However, these systems cannot be used to continuously monitor students, teachers, and staff unless the parents of a majority of the students in the special education classroom consent in writing. Photographs or video footage collected can only be viewed by the parents of the students featured, in compliance with privacy laws.
