I think that the surveillance cameras in the hallways were a great idea. If something were to happen such as:

1) Someone getting beat up or " jumped "

2) Someone decided to vandalize the school.

3) A unwanted visitor in the school.

The cameras will help catch the person doing whatever it was that they did. I think that in the past when we did not have the cameras people got away with things they should not have got away with.

I think that this will resolve problems through out the school.

I feel that the video surveillance at school is needed, that's why we have it. They can come very handy in a situation when some one vandalized something without anyone seeing them, if they were caught on tape then they can be prosecuted. Cameras may also help in knowing who started a fight if both people have a different stories. I don't think that the surveillance is a problem at all, if anything they're a good help.

Teachers will always be out numbered by the students, therefore not everything that happens on campus is being reported. Cameras would help the school alot because theres kids who suffer from abuse and no one ever notices. Not only would cameras help us prevent or stop violence but it could also be used for many other different issues. Stealing is a big problem and in a school so big and crowded like MacArthur high school anything can be lost, so cameras could help us prevent stealing. I know some people are probably against video surveillance in our school but think about it would you like to be the kid getting beat up and having no help from the school? Most of the time teachers don't believe kids when they say someone is beating them up because they say that "we have no evidence", well lets put our technology to good use and have evidence!

Have you ever herd the saying an eye in the sky. Well thats what the school board and the school principals want. Because teachers, hall security, and vice principals are human beings they cant see everything thats going. So they need camreas so that if someone is hurt or in trouble they can see who and were its happing. wen were are in school the teachers and principals are in charge of are safty and if camreas are one way to help them keep an eye on things then let it be.

The cameras through the school are needed in order to help insure that students that vandalize things are caught. Also, to make people think twice before doing something stupid and pointless.

They are needed

For example if something got stollen they could go back and look through the cameras to see who it was.

Also when all of the food fights were going on last year they could've used the cameras to try and figure out who was starting them, so they could punish those people instead of the entire school

I feel that the current level of video surveillance is needed to keep the school safe. If something were to happen and noone was there to see it, the schools cameras might possibly have it on tape. That would keep "he said", "she said" from happening. Some may feel that the videos arent watched everyday, but they dont need to be. They should be there for evidence purposes, like if something goes missing they can then look to see if its on camera.

I don't know exactly how much video surveillance there is at this school, but i do know that it is needed for security reasons.

If a crime is committed it will help to find who is responsible.

yes i support this,

because that way it lowers down crime in school, less fight even drug use.

it also helps everybody keep safe during school incase anything happens they can atomatically find the person that is gulty.

I understand the reasoning in the school districts decision in adding the cameras. There not trying to do anything more but to further enhance the safety of the campus. For instance what if you left your thing in the Hall or even the cafeteria to talk to a teacher or just to get something to eat an when you returned your stuff was missing wouldn't you want the footage that day. Or if a good friend gets "jumped" or even you, you cant tell me you wouldn't want the people to be caught. so i look at the cameras in optimistic vision because they probably help more people then you think.

It is needed ,but it is uncalled for using numerous camera's.

Alot of camera's are great for security, but its just dumb putting alot of camera's in one place and it's probably expensive installing the camera's. So its affecting the schools money for installing unneeded camera's.

yes, sometimes

Yes the video surveillence is definantly needed. There is always fights happening on campus as well as people damaging property and things of that nature. I dont really see any inconviences in the school putting these cameras up. They are ment to help keep the school a much safer environment. The only people the cameras are going to inconvenience are people who are doing something that they shouldnt be doing.

I believe that the current level of surveillance at macarthur is required to keep us safe and keep kids from doing things they shouldn't. Personally, I do not have a problem with video surveillance, because i'm not ever doing anything that would get me in trouble at school. If you do have a problem with cameras watching the halls of macarthur, then you are probably inquiring to or already doing illegal activities.

Yes it is needed because cameras are for security.We can see cameras installed everwhere we go.It is installed everywhere in public places and school is also a public place where many people come and go.I think it is ok to have a video surveillance in school because it is for our own safety.It helps to reduce crime and other things in certain way.so It should not be a problem for those who come here to study.

Having surveillance is going to do more good than harm. There is going to be teachers in the halls anyway that can watch you and it's not like they have a guy sitting in a room staring at a t.v. all day, looking through different cameras waiting for us to mess up. The point of video cameras is for our safety. It's not taking away any rights or freedoms that we should have. It will help limit kids in the school shooting eachother in the hallways or a knife to the neck, but nothing's full-proof.

I think that video surveillance is neccesary because that coud lower the crime here at school and make it safer for students.

School is suppose to be a safe place and thats what they are trying to do make it safer for the students who come to learn.

I think is a good idea because the school has more control about the students and they can has a better decision like who start the fights or something like that ....that’s my opinion

School is thinking about the safety of their students and there should be no problem.Camera adds a safety for the school.If there is any fight or crime anywhere i think it helps to catch the criminal very easily.It helps to reduce crime in school too.I think the more the camera, the more safety we get.

Video surveillance is needed everywhere. Just because it's a school and most of the time it's safe, every once in a while something might pop off. And the main people need to know what's going on around the school, to keep it safe all the time not just most.

I think it would be better if we have cameras at school because that way there will be more less drama and all the trouble that's been going on between students.It's good to monitor what students are doing.Especially for the one's who skipped alot.
