The school bus of the future is here. Global positioning system (GPS) and radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies will allow Liverpool Central School District parents to know if their child got on the school bus.

The district's new system also allows parents to track the location of their child’s bus and receive notifications about the trip. All grades and all bus routes are utilizing the system.

Students in kindergarten through second grade will use RFID cards when they enter buses, while older kids will tap a screen.
