Bill > HB1019

This bill requires public schools in Arkansas to install video cameras in self-contained classrooms upon request by certain individuals, such as parents, teachers, or school administrators. The cameras must be able to monitor and record audio in the classrooms, except in restrooms and areas where students change clothes. Schools must retain the video recordings for at least 30 days and allow viewing of the recordings by specific personnel, such as those investigating reported incidents involving abuse, neglect, or child maltreatment. The bill also outlines procedures for protecting the confidentiality of student records and provides an appeals process for individuals who believe a school has violated the requirements.
