Hansen School District recently received notification that it is a recipient of an Idaho State Department of Education's stoparm grant to upgrade its camera systems. From the State Department's website,
The goal of these Grants is to promote the use of school bus stop arm cameras by providing funding for software and/or hardware systems. The State Agency has identified a need for these installations and upgrades within many student transportation programs throughout the state. This funding opportunity will positively affect the efforts to bring more awareness to the seriousness of school bus stop arm violations by promoting efficient software and/or hardware systems that support local law enforcement agencies in securing convictions of such offenses. Funding is only available to support the purchase of technology solutions for use by Idaho Schools and Contractors to support student transportation programs.
A huge thank you goes out to Sasi Novak, Hans Heeling, and Chelsea Martinez for their work on the application!
