Bill Passes to Allow Cameras in Special Ed. Classrooms A bill to allow cameras in special education classrooms, if requested by the parents, advances from Senate Education. Baton Rouge Senator Franklin Foil authored Senate Bill 86 on behalf of the Louisiana Development Disabilities Council and concerned parents whose special needs children experienced mental and/or physical abuse in the classroom. “I’m not suggesting it’s a widespread problem but simply a safeguard,” said Foil. Baton Rouge physician and mother of a nonverbal special needs daughter, Dr. Mary Elizabeth Christian said she will never forget the day when she sat in an Individualized Education Program for her daughter and learned of ongoing abuse.
