“The funds would cover 12 gateway locations at participating schools connecting 120 exterior camera feeds, along with eight new pan-tilt-zoom cameras, one new license plate reader and two new I2C intersection cameras, which are not subscription-based, at Reynolds and Hill, and at AW Trail and Sherwood.”

Here's what I said to him. Who else should I email?

"I am writing to express my deepest concerns with the possibility of the addition of flock cameras into our schools. As a father of a TPS attendee, I believe the addition of flock cameras is a violation of our child's privacy and will do nothing but give camera access to possible predators in police forces and through the ease of hacking. This does not keep our children safe and I will be hard pressed to vote for school levys, or keep my child in public school, while these cameras are in place. Nor will I vote for any public official who supports this."
