The Trib Local has published a story about a new agreement between the Village of Glenview and Glenbrook South High School, allowing emergency responders to access live video surveillance during critical incidents: Under an agreement approved by the Glenbrook District 225 school board on January 13, live video from Glenbrook South High School’s security cameras will be accessible to Glenview police, firefighters, and paramedics during emergencies. The village board is expected to adopt the agreement as well, according to Lynne Stiefel, a village spokeswoman. However, she hasn’t provided a timeline for when that might happen. The agreement grants officials from the village the authority to use the cameras during emergencies. A written explanation must be submitted to the school superintendent within 24 hours of activating the system. According to Superintendent Mike Riggle, the cameras are only permitted for training and emergency situations—not for ongoing police investigations. Village officials have full discretion over when the surveillance system can assist first responders. An "emergency" is defined in the agreement as any situation that poses an immediate threat to students, staff, or anyone inside a District 225 facility. This includes hostage situations, fires, terrorism, threats or actual use of firearms, and health-related crises. "When something happens at a school, it's always a safety issue," Riggle said. "We want to look at what resources we have available for first responders." The agreement also extends access to cameras at Glenbrook Off Campus and Glenbrook Evening High School, located at 1835 Landwehr Road. While the District 225 office at 3801 W. Lake Ave. doesn't currently have cameras, the village could gain access if the district installs them later, according to Riggle. Northbrook officials have shown interest in creating a similar arrangement for Glenbrook North High School, but that would require separate approval from the school board, Riggle added. Glenbrook South High School has had cameras installed in public areas—such as entryways, hallways, and cafeterias—for the past five years. They are not placed in bathrooms or classrooms, Riggle confirmed. The system operates as a passive surveillance setup, meaning it runs continuously without real-time monitoring. Instead, school staff review footage after an incident occurs. "Anything that helps improve student and staff safety is worth the effort," Riggle said in a statement.
