IV Eagle Flyby - March 24, 2023

BusPatrol
SASD buses will be operating automated stop-arm enforcement cameras to detect vehicles that illegally pass stopped school buses that have their red lights flashing and stop-arm extended. The camera footage is shared with local law enforcement to determine whether to issue the vehicle owner a violation by mail. Beginning on April 11th, if a vehicle illegally passes a school bus transporting our students, the vehicle owner will be issued a violation. Please use this BusPatrol Link to see more information.

IV Web site Feedback
