“So I asked the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board to request a report on bus delays, and adopt communications standards for alerting parents to changes in arrival time or route.”
FYI-all school buses have built in GPS and accompanying software to do this. It is the choice of the school district to turn it on. (And pay for it).
Suggestion-one of the largest school buses builders in the country is in High Point, North Carolina- Thomas Built Buses. Go interview them regarding bus safety and what they proactively do. Also, check out at the lobbying groups lobbying the N.C. legislature. You’ll find one called “BusPatrol America”. They monitor both GPS coordinates but they also have cameras in the bus to monitor behaviors.

Good ideas. CMS does offer parents the GPS tracking but that doesn't help when you see your child's bus going in the wrong direction.
