Video Cameras

To promote a safe environment on the buses for all students, we will be using video cameras on all buses every day. There is a possibility that your student may be filmed while being transported. Video media will be use solely by MUSD and bus contractor personnel to maintain appropriate discipline and a safe environment on all MUSD buses.
