Superintendent Mumin outlines new bus-camera enforcement, curriculum and enrollment updates
Summary
Superintendent Mumin reported that all Chester-Upland SD buses now have cameras and motorists who illegally pass stopped buses face tickets starting March 23; the district also submitted its K–3 reading survey ahead of deadline and reported enrollment of about 3,160 students as of March 23.
Superintendent Mumin told the board that the district has posted updates to its recovery-plan dashboard and is reporting steady progress across four strategic pillars. She said the district submitted the K–3 evidence-based reading curriculum survey ahead of the March 31 deadline and revised residency verification forms to align cyber-charter workflows to Act 47.
Mumin also announced a new safety initiative for school transportation: "all CUSD school buses are now outfitted with our cameras. As of Monday, March 23rd, motorists who illegally pass a stop school bus will receive a ticket," she said, describing the rollout as part of efforts to protect scholars. She added the district has instituted 24-hour parent and employee notification and "flash reporting" for weapons incidents at school buildings.
The superintendent reported district enrollment at approximately 3,160 students as of March 23 and reminded families that 2026–27 registration is available online and in person. She highlighted several upcoming community events and student supports, including a Title I family summit, a prom attire giveaway and student leadership programming, and thanked staff for recent participation in Read Across America and other events.
The presentation combined program updates, policy compliance steps and outreach reminders; no formal board action on these specific items was recorded in the transcript during the meeting.
