The Broward County School Board has unanimously approved a new school bus camera enforcement program designed to catch drivers who illegally pass stopped school buses while students are getting on or off.<\/p>\n

District officials say the initiative is primarily about student safety, but the program is also expected to generate significant revenue for budget-challenged Broward schools.<\/p>\n

Under the agreement approved Tuesday, cameras will be installed on approximately 1,000 school buses. Drivers caught violating Florida’s school bus stop-arm law will receive a $225 citation.<\/p>\n

Of that amount, Broward County Public Schools will receive $85 per citation, while BusPatrol, the company operating the program, will receive $140.<\/p>\n

School district officials estimate the program could generate between $8 million and $12 million annually.<\/p>\n

Some board members questioned whether the district should receive a larger share of the revenue.<\/p>\n

“The part that I have a hard time selling to my neighbor is that we’re giving up 70% of the money to a vendor,” School Board member Allen Zeman said during Tuesday’s meeting.<\/p>\n

Superintendent Howard Hepburn defended the arrangement, noting the district will not pay upfront costs for the cameras, installation or maintenance.<\/p>\n

Under state law, the district’s share of the revenue must be used for student transportation, school safety initiatives and school bus driver recruitment and retention efforts.<\/p>\n

School Board Chair Sarah Leonardi said the additional revenue could help relieve pressure on the district’s budget.<\/p>\n

“I think it costs about $15 million to deliver a 1% raise, so $8 to $12 million moves us in the right direction,” Leonardi said.<\/p>\n

The vote comes as Miami-Dade County Public Schools continues operating a similar program. Last year, however, Miami-Dade temporarily suspended enforcement after some drivers complained they had received citations in error.<\/p>\n

Hepburn said Broward has reviewed those concerns and noted drivers who believe they were wrongly cited will have the opportunity to appeal.<\/p>\n

District officials expect the cameras to be installed and operational by the start of the upcoming school year.<\/p>\n
