Children with severe disabilities often don’t have the ability to speak up when they are hurt at school, so determining what happened can be difficult.
That’s why one Dallas ISD trustee wants to require each special education classroom in the district to have video cameras. Texas public schools are already required to place one in a special education setting if a parent requests it.
Installing cameras districtwide would help protect the most vulnerable kids in DISD and even protect teachers if they are falsely accused of wrongdoing, trustee Dustin Marshall said.
