District to Launch Real-Time Bus Tracking and Student Badge Scanning Aug. 25
Summary
Director of Transportation Chris Williams told the Mineral Wells ISD Board the district will launch a bus safety program Aug. 25 that provides real‑time vehicle locations and requires students to scan badges when boarding and exiting buses.
Chris Williams, Director of Transportation for Mineral Wells Independent School District, briefed the Board on a new safety program that will add real‑time monitoring of bus locations and student badge scanning.
"This program is scheduled to go live on August 25, 2025," Williams said, describing a system developed in collaboration with the Technology Department to let district administrators and parents track student locations during pickup and drop‑off.
According to Williams, students will scan badges when boarding and exiting buses; the district said the badge scans will provide administrators and parents the ability to verify student location in real time. The Board received the update as information and did not take action. The rollout date announced by Williams is scheduled ahead of the start of the 2025–26 school year.
