A bill for an act relating to video recording systems in special education classrooms.

HF 2681 requires all Iowa school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools to install video recording systems in every special education classroom at each school building. The recordings must comply with privacy laws like FERPA (federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). The bill specifies that school districts will fund this requirement using existing state school foundation aid, without needing new state funding. This policy directly affects schools serving students with special needs and their privacy practices.
