## Operations Over Assemblies & Student Safety * **FAA Ground Rules:** In accordance with **FAA Part 107 and recreational safety rules**, flying a drone directly over people who are not participating in the flight operation is restricted. This applies heavily to school campuses, where students, staff, and spectators frequently gather in open-air spaces like athletic fields, quadrangles, and courtyards. * **Property Regulations:** While the FAA controls the overarching airspace, individual school districts (such as LAUSD) and local municipal policies strictly restrict the takeoff, landing, and low-altitude operation of unmanned aircraft from school grounds without explicit administrative authorization. ## Privacy & Security Considerations * **Student Privacy Safeguards:** Utilizing camera-equipped drones to capture images or video over a K-12 school campus raises major privacy protection concerns under state guidelines. * **Low-Altitude Flight Risk:** To prevent distractions to students, accidental collisions with facility structures, or injury risks during outdoor school activities, drone operators should avoid transiting the campus perimeter during school operational hours.
