Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to providing for the viewing of footage captured by an interior school bus camera in certain circumstances
AI Summary
This bill amends the education law to require school districts to adopt policies allowing parents or guardians to view school bus camera footage when a physical harm, harassment, intimidation, or bullying incident is reported by the pupil, parent, or guardian. The policies must stipulate that the footage can only be viewed under the supervision of a school official such as the director of schools, school principal, or another designated school administrator. The policies must also comply with state regulations and federal privacy laws, and may establish specific procedures or timelines for requesting access to the footage. The bill aims to provide transparency and support for parents whose children may have experienced problematic behavior while being transported on a school bus, while maintaining appropriate safeguards for student privacy. The law would take effect immediately upon passage.
