Question 1 coming up ... #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:08 PM EDT

Q1: What role do bus cameras play in keeping students safe? #safeschoolschat
lilspyder88 May 22 @ 3:09 PM EDT

Extra safety, in my opinion, Ss know that someone is watching over them #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:10 PM EDT

A1: They are a great deterrent of bad behavior. #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:10 PM EDT

@lilspyder88 Absolutely! #safeSchoolsChat
JKatzaman May 22 @ 3:10 PM EDT

A1 Bus cameras can verify misbehavior brewing, document incidents after the fact. Preventative only if kids intimidated. #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:12 PM EDT

A1: They are also a way to keep an accurate account of what's really happening on the buses. #SafeSchoolsChat
ChrisBarnes06 May 22 @ 3:12 PM EDT

A1: Ss & drivers aware of recording = greater adherence to rules/regs... Also stop arm cameras = fewer passing violations #safeschoolschat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:12 PM EDT

@JKatzaman This is so true, Jim! Great point! #safeSchoolsChat

Question 2 coming up ... #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:14 PM EDT

Q2: Why are stop-arm cameras so important? #safeschoolschat
JKatzaman May 22 @ 3:16 PM EDT

A1 Cameras are passive deterrent, worth little unless proven active with evidence used to confront bad actors. #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:16 PM EDT

A2: They can let us know who runs through a stop-arm. #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@JKatzaman You got it! #safeschoolschat
lilspyder88 May 22 @ 3:17 PM EDT

@DavisWelcome I agree with you! #SafeSchoolsChat
DavisWelcome May 22 @ 3:18 PM EDT

A2: They keep pedestrians safe. #SafeSchoolsChat
JKatzaman May 22 @ 3:20 PM EDT

A2 Stop-arm cameras let drivers focus on kids' welfare while capturing details such as date, time, GPS info for police. #SafeSchoolsChat
