Privacy and Surveillance Laws

Privacy and surveillance laws in the context of school safety focus on balancing the need for security with the rights of students and staff to privacy. These laws govern how schools can use surveillance cameras, monitoring technology, and data collection to ensure safety without infringing on personal privacy. Schools must follow regulations regarding consent, data protection, and transparency. They aim to create a safe environment while minimizing invasive practices that could lead to the misuse of personal information or unfair targeting of individuals, ensuring that safety measures respect everyone’s rights.
