Board approves bus tablets and MyRide app to track routes and inform families
Summary
The board approved an agreement with Tyler Technologies to install tablets on district buses and enable the MyRide app for families; administration said the district is purchasing the tablets and expects the system to improve clarity of bus locations and support substitute drivers.
The administration presented a sales quote and an agreement with Tyler Technologies to add tablets to buses and enable the MyRide app for families and drivers. Board members said the tablets will help in knowing where buses are on their routes, ease routing for substitutes and support family communication. "This will help us in knowing where buses are, where those buses are in their route," a board member said during discussion.
Administration confirmed the district will purchase the tablets and noted the district will own the devices; board members flagged that tablets become obsolete over time but accepted the purchase as a tool for route safety and communication. The board voted to approve the agreement as presented.
