When you use software integration to pair BusBoss with the Pearson PowerSchool student management system, you get an all-in-one solution that brings total oversight to your operations.
How are you going to be managing the thousands of students, faculty, and other staff in your school system for next year?

These days, like it or not, a school district depends on the quality of their auditing and reporting.

The main objective at the end of the day for any school is the dissemination of information in an environment that encourages accountability, relevance and retention of the information gathered.

Every day, over a hundred million parents trust their children to your care for most of the day, and it's absolutely vital that you do everything possible to ensure their children remain safe.
The ways to harness technology to make your school run more smoothly and more safely are expanding quickly. Just a couple decades ago, it was still standard to see school districts doing most of their record-keeping by hand: drawing bus routes with lines on a map, doing attendance on paper, and still keeping class scores in physical grade books.
Chances are, your student management is organized, in some fashion, with a student database at the center of it. You have a list of students, and you go from there: they get use to routine bus routes, to classes, and so forth. That's the standard way.
