In their final meeting before the first deadline of the 2026 legislative session, the House Education Committee moved forward with measures on Wednesday requiring cameras to be installed in special education classrooms and allowing firearms on school premises, among other topics. House File 2218, approved in a 14-9 vote, would require public and charter schools install video recording systems in each special education classroom at school facilities. The bill requires these systems and recordings created “must be consistent” with state and federal privacy laws, and states the cost of installing these would be paid for by school districts from state School Foundation Aid.
