HB 2410 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Local Education Agencies - As introduced, allows an LEA or public charter school to install, maintain, and use, subject to parental approval, a video camera surveillance system in the special education classrooms operated by the LEA or public charter school to continuously monitor students, teachers, and staff in the classroom while special education or related services are being provided. - Amends TCA Title 10 and Title 49.

HB 2410 (Tennessee) allows public schools and charter schools to install continuous video surveillance in special education classrooms to enhance safety, but only with written consent from parents of a majority of students in those classrooms. The bill requires schools to adopt policies governing footage retention and restricts access to recordings: parents may view footage for their child under privacy laws, and teachers may view it only if evidence of assault is suspected. It specifically applies to self-contained special education settings where 50% or more of students receive special education services during instructional time. The law takes effect for the 2026-2027 school year, with funding intended to come from existing school safety grants.
