Agency official announces expansion of bus ID card program to middle and high schools
Summary
An agency official said the bus ID card program will be expanded to middle and high schools to make student bus travel safer and more organized; the official said more than 4,000 students use the buses, described scanning and replacement rules, and pointed parents to the Easy AVB app for route tracking.
An agency official announced an expansion of the school bus ID card program to middle and high schools, saying the change is intended to make bus trips "safer and more organized for all students." The official said more than 4,000 students currently use school buses and that the program will assign students to specific buses.
The official said students must have their ID card ready to scan when boarding and again when exiting the bus. "La seguridad de los estudiantes es nuestra prioridad," the official said, adding that the system gives parents “tranquilidad” by ensuring students are on their assigned routes.
The official described the replacement policy: the first replacement card is free and can be obtained at the school office; students who do not have their card in the afternoon will need to be picked up by a parent or guardian. Parents were also told they can use the Easy AVB app to view their student’s bus route, receive notifications and see an approximate arrival time.
The announcement emphasized safety and accountability as the primary goals of the expansion and encouraged families to use the app and ensure students carry their cards. No formal vote or board action was reported in the transcript; the remarks were presented as an informational announcement.
