The start of school is still two weeks away, but Gwinnett County is getting ready to equip some of its school buses with video cameras to capture drivers who don't stop for those picking up or dropping off students.

The county will install cameras on the stop-arms of 100 school buses by Labor Day. It will add an additional 200 by this fall.

"Those pictures are going to identify the drivers and, unfortunately, those drivers will be cited," says Gwinnett Schools spokesman Jorge Quintana.

He tells WSB's Sandra Parrish REDFLEX Student Guardian out of Arizona will monitor the cameras. Violators will face a $300 fine for the first offense and up to a $1,000 fine for the third offense.

Quintana says the cameras will be placed in areas of the county known for the most violations.

"Drivers not following the law are something that's an issue here for us in Gwinnett County," he says. "We have identified areas... where we see that more often."

During a pilot project last spring, four buses were equipped with cameras from March until the end of the school year and 450 violators were captured during those two months.

Quintana says the cameras will not cost the school district any money.  They will be self-sustaining through the fines.
