Require the use of video cameras in certain special education classrooms

Summary

The bill mandates that every self‑contained special education classroom in West Virginia public schools be equipped with a video camera, and that the restroom attached to each such classroom have an audio recording device. Schools must give parents written notice, allow an opt‑out for bathroom audio, keep recordings for a set time, and may use the recordings in investigations of abuse or staff misconduct. The goal is to improve safety and accountability for students with disabilities.
