The Lincoln Board of Education authorizes the use of video cameras and other passive electronic measures (such as motion detectors) for monitoring transportation and interior and exterior public areas for the purposes of ensuring the health, welfare and safety of staff, students and visitors, safeguarding district facilities and equipment and maintaining student discipline and an appropriate educational and work environment.  The devices shall not be placed or operational in locations in which individuals have a high expectation of privacy, such as restrooms and locker rooms.  Video recordings are considered student educational records and may be subject to FERPA guidelines.

 

An annual Board review of the use of video surveillance will occur.
