Bus safety cameras & free summer meals for Broward students. Plus, school choice
Three recent stories about Broward County Public Schools covered several topics, including school bus safety enforcement, school choice applications and free summer meals.
Here’s a rundown to catch up:
AI-powered cameras will help fine drivers who pass stopped Broward school buses
Broward schools approved a program to use AI stop-arm cameras on buses, with district police reviewing footage and issuing $225 tickets to drivers who pass stopped buses. Leaders say it should improve safety, but board members raised plenty of questions.

Broward opened a second school choice application window through mid-July for families seeking reassignments, Nova schools or magnets with available seats. Applications go through the BCPS Focus Parent Portal.
