This is the best summary I could come up with:


Chad Marlow, a senior policy counsel for the ACLU’s national office and the report’s lead author, said that from a research standpoint, these claims are impossible to prove and are misleading to school officials and administrators.

Although school shootings and suicides are rare events, they are every parent’s worst nightmare and the fear is very real, Marlow said.

The ACLU commissioned YouGov to complete a national survey on student’s perceptions towards surveillance tech in their schools.

When it comes to education technology surveillance in their schools, students reported heightened anxiety, unease and fear.

“It’s going to make it less likely that students are going to reach out for help,” said Amelia Vance, the president of the Public Interest Privacy Center.

The ACLU report also offers recommendations to school districts and state level decision-makers about which tools are proven to work.
