The Fairfax County school board is expected to vote to allow principals to install surveillance cameras in high school cafeterias and other high-traffic areas of campus. Five School Board members told The Washington Examiner they would vote “yes” Thursday night, while two said concerns about public engagement will compel them to vote against the cameras.

Of the five remaining members on the 12-person board, three previously expressed support for the policy change, which would allow — but not require — principals to make in-school cameras a reality.
