Long Island launches campaign reminding drivers to stop for school bus stop signs

-- Wednesday was the first day of school for many Long Island districts, and some parents expressed safety concerns as their children rode off on school buses.

"It's not a cash grab," said Dr. Roberta Gerold, superintendent of Middle Country Central School District."When kids get off buses, they're excited. They're excited to run into school, they don't pay close attention. When they're coming home, they're excited to get back into their houses." All of Suffolk County's 71 school districts have cameras rolling, but Nassau County is asking its towns to negotiate the contracts separately. The result: more than half of Nassau's school districts are not able to turn on their cameras. That rollout may not come until January.Meanwhile, Suffolk issued more than 100,000 school bus camera tickets in its first full year.
