MANAGEMENT SUPPORT VIDEO CAMERAS ON SCHOOL BUSES

The Board of Directors of Deer Park School District No. 414 authorizes the Transportation Department to use video cameras on District-operated school buses for the purpose of reducing discipline problems, thus providing a safer environment for the transportation of students. The reason for recording the transportation environment is to provide school officials, drivers, and parents/guardians/custodians with documentation when dealing with inappropriate student behavior. Disciplinary action will be in accordance with policies and procedures on Student Responsibilities and Rights.

The Superintendent/designee shall prepare procedures for use of the video equipment on buses, the authorized review process for video tapes, and the proper disposal of tapes.
