Taylor, Schultz and Valentine all recommended a simple, extra step taken from the classroom that increases cameras’ effective- ness: the good, old-fashioned seating chart. Tat approach reduces the time spent when transportation and school personnel must review video following an incident. “I don’t know who the kids are when I look at a video, so the seating chart really helps us identify who’s involved,” Valentine said, noting Cobb County elementary and middle school students have assigned seats. “If you have a substitute driver, they don’t know the kids and a seating chart is a big help to them.” Taylor said, “We have a seating chart for each bus and all driv-


ers have their chart. We know exactly who is sitting where—at least, who is supposed to be sitting where.” Further, he said the charts were especially helpful when a


motorcycle recently crashed into the side of a bus traveling its route. “Te first thing the police officer wanted to know was who were the students on board. It was so easy to give them that information.” Taylor and Schultz also noted the value of cameras when serv- ing students with special needs. “We are one of the few districts in the nation that transport


our (Exceptional Children program) students with our regular students,” Taylor said. “If a parent states that their child with special needs was assaulted on a bus, we can pull the video. Also, if the student has a medical emergency we can pull the video to alert medical professionals exactly what occurred and how the student acted.”


Schultz said his staff has used in-bus cameras to “to see if we could find triggers—something that may have prompted a student’s behavior—to see if we can avoid them in the future, change some- thing to help deal with future situations or to add safety devices.” Valentine said, “Transporting special needs students is a chal- lenge in itself. Having video is a protection for all concerned. If a student is out of control and a driver or monitor is injured, the incident is captured and may be used to assist the district’s risk management department. Many students are non-verbal and/or medically fragile and may be returned home with a bruise or scar. Parents want to know if the injury occurred on the bus. Cameras can come in real handy when these situations occur and may assist in preventing lawsuits.” Starting this year, Taylor said he has designated one person to pull and review videos each day and forward them to principals’ offices for further action. On average, five or six daily incidents require action. But, he added, “You can watch a video, looking for one specific thing and you’ll see something else happen—a completely different incident that wasn’t reported and may not have been reported, otherwise.”


Schultz, whose 70-bus fleet has been camera-equipped since 2008, shared a similar story. “Just this morning, I was looking at a reported incident and, in the background, a student was chewing tobacco,” he said. “Tat’s something the driver is not going to see.” Cobb County buses typically are fitted with three inside cameras, which help with incidents extending beyond inappropriate student
