The School Data Bill
School bus data reporting bill introduced in New Mexico
Reporting On School Bus Data
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
The bill would require schools to collect and share information about their bus routes and safety incidents, so parents could see how buses are run.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, families could get clearer insight into bus safety, but the bill may add paperwork for schools without clear funding, so it’s worth watching now.
