Iowa Republican lawmakers introduced a bill this week that would require cameras to be installed in all public school classrooms.
The purpose of the cameras would be to allow parents and guardians to view their children’s classes via livestream.
Teachers and other school staff who fail to keep their cameras in working condition or obstruct the view could be fined up to 5 percent of their weekly salary for each infraction, the bill adds.
“Instead of wasting public funds on monitoring equipment, we should employ additional qualified professionals, reduce class sizes, and provide more programming that helps students acquire the skills they need,” Pringle added.
