Senate Bill 1398 amends the Education Code to clarify the individuals who may make and who must act on a written request for video surveillance equipment to be provided to a school or campus for use in a self-contained classroom or other special education setting and to limit the classrooms or other settings in which a school or campus that receives such equipment is required to place, operate, and maintain a video camera. The bill sets out requirements for a school district or open-enrollment charter school policy relating to the placement, operation, or maintenance of such video cameras and provides procedures for an expedited review by the Texas Education Agency of certain district actions regarding the use of such video cameras.
