Cameras were recently added to two women’s and two men’s restrooms at the Windsor Charter Academy Early College High School, and several parents say they are not OK with them being there.
The cameras are mounted on the ceiling in each of the restrooms, and according to the school, they point only toward the sinks. The stalls, which are a new design for the school, span from the floor to ceiling to increase privacy for students, Rebecca Teeples, the executive director of Windsor Charter Academy Schools, said in a phone interview.
The cameras, she said, point toward the wash stations because that is considered a public space, and cameras were placed in all public areas of the school to increase security for students.
Bill Bethke, an attorney in private practice who represents the Windsor Charter Academy schools, as well as others in the state, said the school wanted to monitor those entering and leaving the bathroom.
