Central Valley parents demand camera mandates after special ed abuse case dismissed

Online petitions have gathered over 15,000 signatures in Bakersfield and Visalia, citing the inability of nonverbal children to report mistreatment. While the California Teachers Association has no official stance, a 1976 law prohibiting recording devices without consent poses a legislative hurdle.

Tracy High Football Coach Arrested After Phone Found Recording Students in Locker Room

Jeffrey Pribble, the 48-year-old head football coach and teacher at Tracy High School in California, was arrested on Friday after students discovered a cell phone recording them while they changed in a locker room. The device was identified as belonging to Pribble, who has coached at the school since 2004 and served as head coach since 2021. The Tracy Police Department confirmed the arrest, stating that students paused the recording before deleting it and handing the phone to a staff member. Pribble has been placed on leave by the Tracy Unified School District pending criminal and administrative investigations. The district stated it is cooperating with law enforcement but could not provide further details due to the nature of the case. Police are seeking information from the public regarding the incident.
