Video Camera Surveillance Guidelines

In order to provide a safe and secure school environment, activities on this campus may be monitored by video surveillance cameras. Individuals’ privacy is of our utmost concern. Mililani Middle School follows these guidelines: 

• Cameras are situated only in areas that are considered public places where there is no expectation of privacy - school entrances, hallways and cafeterias, the exterior of buildings, school parking lots, playing fields and other open areas of campus. 

• Cameras are not installed in any place where students, staff or visitors may have a reasonable expectation of privacy, such as classrooms, offices, teacher workrooms, restrooms, locker rooms or other designated dressing rooms. 

• Cameras are not positioned so that they are capable of recording off-campus activities. 

• Recordings will be erased or written over within ten(10) calendar days of the recording unless an incident is recorded that may involve a violation of law or Chapter 8-19, Hawaii Administrative Rules (“Student Misconduct, Discipline, School Searches and Seizures, Reporting Offenses, Police Interviews”). 

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of surveillance cameras, please call the school office at 627-9000 and ask to speak to administration.
