(Griswold) The Griswold bus students will have a safer ride to and from school thanks to a new GPS approved by the School Board at Monday’s meeting.
Griswold School’s Superintendent Dave Henrichs says each bus will have a tablet with the route’s location, the list of students on a particular bus route, and who will be getting on and off at each stop. Additionally, the system will provide the transportation director with information on the bus’s location and how fast it’s going. Parents who elect to sign-up will be notified when the bus is three miles from their homes.“We think the system will improve safety for our students, help the bus drivers, and provide a service for our parents,” said Henrichs.
Henrichs says the system cost is $22,246.00 with an annual fee of $7,944.00. Each district’s school bus will have the system installed and ready by school this fall.
