Who Reaps the Benefits of GPS Student Tracking?

School districts all across the country are implementing GPS Student Tracking programs. The reasons for implementing GPS technology vary, and it can be confusing to know who benefits most from it. However, there are distinct reasons why school districts, parents, and students benefit.

School Districts

There is no question that GPS Student Tracking provides valuable data to school districts. Along with providing them with the ability to forward immediate information to parents, the data collected makes reporting easier. School Districts are even utilizing this data to work with other districts as they develop best practices. For school district transportation departments, these programs offer risk management benefits and cost savings in the form of insurance discounts and staff efficiency.

Parents

GPS Student Tracking provides a peace of mind to parents of students who ride school buses. One example is in the case of an emergency. When a bus runs late or the weather is bad, parents can locate their children quickly. Also, if a child misses the bus, or gets on the wrong bus, the problem can be identified and rectified, without hours of searching and distress. This may be especially beneficial for the parents of special needs students or during unique scenarios, such as off-site events and field trips.

Students

The number one priority for parents and school districts is the safety and success of each student. Classroom issues such as truancy and wandering can be easily identified with GPS Student Tracking, making them easy to address. Perhaps the number one benefit of student tracking software is the positive impact on student's safety, making it well worth the investment.
