[LM_NET] TECH: Camcorder for taping students in classrooms

[GeorgeAnne Draper <GDraper@WYNNE.K12.AR.US>]

A teacher requested to check out our camcorder to tape her classroom because of the 
bad behavior.  She thinks that the camcorder will act as a deterrent.  We do have 
cameras in our halls and in the library with notices on the doors explaining that 
cameras are in use.  I told her I would check on the legality of it.  Our principal 
will probably say no without thinking about it.  I would love to hear from anyone 
who has done this and what steps they went through to be sure it would be legal.
Sincerely,
George Anne Draper, librarian
