Among the things to look out for this school year is a new bus company, which has buses equipped with video cameras and GPS. The district selected Lakeview Bus to handle student transportation this year. As a result of the new technology on the buses, which are intended to increase student safety, the district modified its bus policy to prohibit any student tampering with electronic recording devices.
