VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

The Portage la Prairie School Division recognizes its obligation to protect the safety and security of students, employees, visitors and its property and to maintain order in its schools, while at the same time balancing and respecting the personal privacy of its students, employees and visitors.

In carrying out its obligations, video surveillance is a tool which the Division may use as a means of protecting its students, employees, visitors and property from activities which are criminal in nature or contrary to the rules and policies of the Division which govern safety and security.

The Division recognizes that its duty of care to its students, employees, and visitors is paramount to all other duties imposed on the Division, and that the psychological benefit to students from feeling safe and protected while in the Division’s care generally outweighs the psychological effect of being surveilled by plain view video surveillance.
