Schools are increasingly considering cameras in special education classrooms to protect students who may be unable to report abuse or misconduct themselves. Supporters say recordings can provide evidence in investigations involving abuse, restraint, or seclusion, while also protecting educators from unfounded allegations. Critics, however, warn about privacy and argue that cameras cannot replace adequate staffing and training. Frederick County Public Schools in Maryland is expanding cameras across specialized classrooms, with full implementation expected by 2030. Recordings are not continuously monitored and can generally be reviewed only following safety incidents, emergencies, or misconduct allegations, with strict rules limiting access. Experts say cameras can provide accountability but should be accompanied by efforts to address staffing shortages, improve behavioral-management training, and reduce inappropriate restraint. Frederick County is evaluating its program through parent and staff feedback, investigation outcomes, and reporting patterns.

California
The California School Boards Association has filed a lawsuit against the state, alleging that Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature illegally withheld $3.9bn from school districts and community colleges under Proposition 98. The legal action follows a similar lawsuit from the California Teachers Association earlier this month, putting school districts and the state’s largest teachers union on the same side of the funding dispute. Proposition 98 establishes a minimum funding guarantee for K-12 schools and community colleges based partly on state revenues and student enrollment. The school boards association argues that education should receive funding based on the year-end revenue calculation of $128bn. Newsom has argued that the calculation remains an estimate because state revenues, including volatile capital gains tax receipts, will continue to change. His administration says withholding $3.9bn reduces the risk of overpaying districts and having to cut funding later, but the state has not committed to a timetable for releasing the money.
