Hoover parents push for cameras in special education classrooms as district prioritizes staffing

Parents of nonverbal students are pushing Hoover City Schools to put cameras in special education classrooms saying video could give answers when their children can’t tell them what happened. But the district says limited grant dollars are better spent on teachers, therapists and support staff. Now, parents say they’re prepared to raise the money themselves if the board won’t act.
