Use of Surveillance Cameras

The Westmoreland Central School District promotes student, staff and visitor safety in all district facilities, grounds and buses. In an attempt to ensure a safe and effective learning environment, the Board of Education promotes the use of surveillance cameras, when necessary, in all district facilities, grounds and buses.

Surveillance cameras will not be used in public areas and other non-public areas, such as restrooms and locker rooms, where there is reasonable expectation of privacy. Audio recordings will not be made in conjunction with the use of cameras. Such prohibition does not preclude the use of audio recordings by law enforcement or district personnel when used in accordance with their official duties and as authorized by law.
