The district has begun using a Smart Tag ID system to ensure students safety. They started using it to record when students get on and off of the bus on Tuesday, February 28.

The SMART tag is programmed to issue each student an individual ID number that can only be read by a tag reader tablet installed on every CISD school bus. The goal is to have the system fully implemented throughout the district by May 2023.

Parents and guardians will have the ability to receive text notifications when their child’s bus arrives for pickup and drop off. All students will have SMART ID cards with lanyards. 

The District is excited about offering its families this new service to increase safety, and we ask for your patience as we implement this new program.
