KENTUCKY - 01/2014 Logan County - "At the beginning of 2014, the Logan County school system will be implementing a program where parents will be able to monitor where their children are while on the school bus and if they got on and off where they were supposed to. The school will also be able to see the rate of speed the bus travels and where they are letting off students....The program is through StudentConnect a company that utilizes transportation and class attendance technology which helps transportation officials and parents become more aware of the safety of students riding on school buses as well as detect truancy issues." - http://newsdemocratleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20131223/news/312239969/null
