SOME DAY, PARENTS OF APS STUDENTS MAY BE ABLE TO TRACK WHERE THEIR KIDS’ SCHOOL BUS IS USING A SMART-PHONE APP. DISTRICT SPOKESPERSON MONICA ARMENTA TELLS NEWSRADIO KKOB IT’S STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT PHASE. IT’S A GPS SYSTEM THAT ALLOWS BUS MANAGERS AND PARENTS TO TRACK WHERE BUSES ARE AT A GIVEN MOMENT.
ARMENTA SAYS THE APS TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT IS NOW TESTING THE SYSTEM. SHE SAYS EVERY BUS COULD EVENTUALLY BE EQUIPPED WITH THE TRACKING DEVICE…POSSIBLY SOMETIME NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
