The Trib Local has published an article detailing a new agreement between the Village of Glenview and Glenbrook South High School, allowing first responders to access live video surveillance during emergencies. 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 officers, firefighters, and paramedics during emergency situations. According to village spokeswoman Lynne Stiefel, the Glenview village board will likely need to adopt the agreement as well, though she wasn’t sure when that would happen. The agreement grants village officials the authority to use the cameras during emergencies, but they must provide a written explanation to the school superintendent within 24 hours of activating the system. School Superintendent Mike Riggle emphasized that the cameras can only be used for training and emergency scenarios—not for criminal investigations. Village officials will have full discretion in deciding when the surveillance system is beneficial to first responders. The document defines an emergency as "any situation that poses an imminent threat" to students, staff, or occupants of a District 225 facility. This includes situations like hostage-taking, fires, terrorism, firearm threats, or health-related emergencies. "When something happens at a school, it's always a safety concern," 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. currently doesn't have cameras, Riggle noted that village officials could gain access if the district installs them in the future. Glenbrook North High School is also under consideration for a similar agreement, according to Riggle, though that would require separate action from the school board. Meanwhile, Glenbrook South High School has had surveillance cameras in public areas—such as entryways, hallways, and cafeterias—for the past five years. They are not installed in bathrooms or classrooms, and the system operates passively, meaning it runs continuously but isn't actively monitored. Instead, school officials review footage after incidents occur. "Anything that enhances the safety of students and staff has been worth the effort," Riggle said in a statement.
