I wonder if there is a case to be made here that there is implied consent by working in a building that monitors its occupants. The article says that the "public areas" are video recorded, so staff know that they will be recorded throughout the day. Also, does the school need consent on file for all students as well?

An obvious CCTV camera on the ceiling is different than a hidden camera or a hidden voice recorder, they even make fake black domes to make people think they are being watched. Also, some states differentiate between audio recording and video-only recordings when it comes to two party consent meaning you can video record the conversation without their consent but can't have audio.
