WA - Everett lawmaker, Mike Sells, has filed a bill in the state legislature to make it illegal to videotape teachers without their knowledge. The bill is in response to the Everett School District's use of hidden cameras when it was investigating a teacher in 2007...
The bill currently in the state legislature would require that all staff must be notified in writing in advance before video surveillance is used. Schools would also be required to post written notices outside any rooms that may have hidden cameras. Current law allows for hidden cameras as long as no audio is recorded. (more)
