ā¢ A Flock of debate: Worthington renews school camera contract, leaves parents divided (abc6onyourside.com) ā Worthington Schools have renewed their contract for Flock license plate reader cameras at high school campuses, and parents are split over whether the technology boosts safety or goes too far on surveillance. District leaders say the $70,000, threeāyear investment is part of a broader safety plan, with footage stored 30 days and only reviewed after incidents. Some parents welcome the deterrent effect, while others question privacy and effectiveness. Ā Ā Ā
