This bill requires school boards in New Jersey to create written policies for any video surveillance systems using artificial intelligence (AI) in schools. The policy must detail the system's benefits and challenges, specify what data is collected, explain how data will be used, outline access plans, and mandate visible signage in areas where surveillance occurs. School boards must also share this policy with parents and guardians of students. The law applies to districts using such AI surveillance systems and takes effect for the first full school year after enactment. It does not create new surveillance but sets clear guidelines for existing or future systems.
