Bus drivers—do they actually have eyes in the back of their heads? There is a lot they are required to pay attention to, that’s for certain. On Monday, Swain County Board of Education approved funding to upgrade cameras for the school system’s bus fleet that might make life just a little easier for the drivers.

The software upgrades from Seon-Safe will retrofit the existing camera system so video will automatically upload over Wi-Fi the same day and be viewable by school principals.
