Local Education Agencies - As introduced, requires each LEA and 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.

SB 1894 would have required Tennessee public schools and charter schools to install continuous video monitoring in special education classrooms during instruction, but only with written parental consent for each student. The bill mandated that footage could only be viewed by parents or under privacy laws like FERPA, and schools would need to create policies for retaining recordings. It specifically applied to classrooms where special education services are provided to a majority of students for at least 50% of the instructional day. However, this bill was withdrawn from consideration in February 2026 and never became law.
