A schoolboard superintendent said the cameras will be installed for 'safety' and to 'highlight exemplary teachers.'
Security cameras will be installed in Effingham County Georgia elementary schools by next spring, with every classroom being covered, according to local media reports. It follows the local school board spending $2 million fitting cameras in high school classrooms, with middle schools expected to follow shortly.

Effingham County Georgia is introducing security cameras into school classrooms."As we continue to look at ways we can support teachers and students from a safety standpoint, we felt like cameras in the classroom would be the next step. We have always had cameras in common areas through the school, but the classroom cameras would be an added safety feature.
Asked whether parental permission would be needed for the filming, Ford claimed this was unnecessary because of the student-parent handbook. This states:"There is no expectation of privacy on buses nor in the public areas of Effingham County Schools. Video cameras may be placed on buses, classrooms, and in the public areas of the campuses of Effingham County Schools.
