Local Education Agencies - As introduced, requires each LEA and public charter school to install, maintain, and use, subject to parental approval, a video camera surveillance system in the special education classrooms operated by the LEA or public charter school to continuously monitor students, teachers, and staff in the classroom while special education or related services are being provided. - Amends TCA Title 10 and Title 49.

Summary

The bill would require every local education agency and public charter school to install and continuously run video cameras in each special‑education classroom. Monitoring could only begin after written consent is obtained from the parents of a majority of the students in that room, and only those parents could view recordings, subject to existing privacy laws. School boards would also have to set rules for how long the video is kept.
