Corpus Christi teachers
want cameras in class
The Associated Press
CORPUS CHRISTI - Teachers
who credit electronic surveillance
for making children better behaved
on buses are urging the school
board to take the next step — plac
ing cameras in classrooms and
hails.
"We want to make sure it's a us
able tool and not something to in
troduce just for the sake of intro
ducing it," said Alfred Ortiz, secu
rity director for the Corpus Christi
Independent School District.
The suggestion may be part of a
report sent to the district officials
next month. Ortiz said he also may
ask the district to buy metal detec
tors and drug-detecting dogs.
"What we've got to look at is
the affordability — the cost factors
here. It's a rather expensive propo
sition," he said.
The teachers who suggested
cameras on campus were im-
f tressed by the effect of surveil-
ance systems on school bus rid
ers, Ortiz said.
The videotape also would be
valuable in evaluating student-
teacher disputes, said Marvin
Spears, principal at Driscoll Middle
School in Corpus Christi.
"It could work both ways also.
If there's a problem in the class
room, the videotape might show
the teacher could be doing some
thing wrong," Spears said.
Rising violence, discipline prob
lems and crime on school campus
es nationwide have prompted
some larger metropolitan school
districts to begin using metal detec
tors, drug sweeps and security
guards.
Video surveillance systems are
being installed in 10 high schools
and one middle school in the Dal
las Independent School District, se
curity director C.W. Burruss said.
Houston Independent School
District officials also began using a
camera system at one school this
year.
But some administrators at
those schools say the cameras
shouldn't be considered a panacea
to school violence.
"1 don't believe putting cam
eras and metal detectors all over
the place is going to solve your
problems," said Michael Stiles,
principal of Sunset High School in
Dallas.
"1 mean, they've got security
cameras at (convenience stores)
and there are still robberies and
shootings," Stiles said. "If the vio
lence is going to take place, it's go
ing to take place. My view is that
adults are the key to stemming vi
olence in our schools."
