The School District has installed video surveillance equipment in school buses as part of a multi-faceted approach to promote the safety and security of students, staff and visitors while at work or participating in school functions and to help protect school property. The digital video cameras allow for both visual and audio recordings to be made on the interior of the school bus. All recordings are held confidential and can only be used by school officials and law enforcement. Bus drivers already have seen a significant change in the behavior of the students. In addition, the cameras allow the drivers to focus more on driving rather than having to look up in the rear view mirror frequently to see what occurrence is happening behind them.
