Oregon teacher investigations backlog leads Umatilla School District to use cameras

The Umatilla School District in Oregon has been installedcameras in its classrooms to quickly resolve complaints and work around the state's severe backlog of teacher misconduct investigations. The state responsible agency, the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC), has a backlog of hundreds of cases, with some investigations taking months or even years to complete due to a shortage of investigators. This results in significant costs for districts, which must often place accused educators on paid leave while waiting for the TSPC's findings. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/today-s-take--6662936/support.
