The cameras were rolling last week in some special education classrooms at Killeen schools.  Four classrooms in the district are now recording and monitoring classroom activity, Killeen Independent School District officials confirmed. The installation of the video cameras, which include microphones, stems from Texas Senate Bill 507, which went into effect in August.  Eight cameras have been installed — two in each classroom — and each camera was activated last Monday by the district in the four approved classrooms. KISD spokesman Shannon Rideout said last week the district has not received any additional monitor requests from parents since Nov. 1.
