Require the use of video cameras in certain special education classrooms

Summary

The bill requires every self‑contained special‑education classroom in West Virginia public schools to have a video camera and its restroom to have an audio‑recording device. Parents must be notified, can opt out of restroom audio, and recordings are kept for at least three months (or up to a year for newer systems) and reviewed regularly. The purpose is to protect students from abuse and to allow evidence for investigations, while limiting use of the footage for personnel evaluations.
