Answer the Question, Please!
Question: Why are all the security cameras going up? Isn't this considered an invasion of privacy? What types of videos are being gleaned from these? Are parents going to know these cameras are filming? What is the legal aspect of them being in the building?
COMMENT: The entire district is upgrading it's security systems. The cameras are located at entry points throughout the building. This has not changed from previous years.
