Bare midriff, backless halters, and mesh shirts are not to be worn. Attire that may damage school property (such as chains) or pose a danger to the safety of students and staff members (such as “Heelies”) shall not be worn. Shoes shall be worn at all times, except exempted by the director or classroom teacher.
Video Surveillance Policy
The Board authorizes the use of video cameras on the property to assist in protecting the health, welfare, and safety of all staff, students, and visitors and to safeguard facilities and equipment. Video cameras may be used in locations deemed appropriate by the Board or Director.
Recorded information from these cameras (“security videos”) showing identifiable students will be treated as an “education record” and will not be produced outside of Bright Lites or Bright Point Church except pursuant to a subpoena, court order, or release in accordance with the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (“FERPA”, 20 United States Code 1233 (g), 34 CFR Part 99.)
Security videos showing identifiable employees will be treated as personnel file information under the Indiana Access to Public Records Act.and board adopted policy implementing that act.
For the purpose of this policy, restrooms and areas reserved exclusively for staff use shall be considered a “private area” of the facility and shall not be equipped with video security equipment. The term “non-private area” shall therefore mean any area on school or church property not meeting the definition of a “private area.”
All speech and conduct in the non-private areas of the school corporation facilities is subject to being observed, recorded, preserved, and examined by means of security video equipment. No person will have a legitimate expectation of privacy with respect to his or her conduct or speech in the non-private area of the Bright Lites or Bright Point Church property.
By this policy, the Board does not mandate or warrant that every non-private location in every facility will be equipped with security video equipment, nor that the security video equipment will record specific conduct or expression.
