As the new school year commences, Wake County Public School System is set to implement a new bus delay notification system to inform parents if their child's bus is running late. The district has successfully addressed bus driver shortages by training more drivers and reducing the number of routes. Meanwhile, Lynn, Massachusetts, has enacted an ordinance banning school buses and vans from parking on city streets due to safety concerns, with fines starting in October. In Cumberland County, school crossing guards are being retrained by the Fayetteville Police Department for better oversight. Fayetteville schools are also introducing an electronic system for students to scan their badges when boarding buses, enhancing safety measures. These changes across different regions aim to improve the efficiency and safety of school transportation.
