The Bend-La Pine School District says hundreds of children who want to ride the school bus this upcoming year have not yet registered — something that’s required in order to ride. But once they do, families will have a new app to track their children when they get on board. “We have about 4,500 families registered,” said Executive Director of Transportation for the Bend-La Pine Schools Kim Crabtree, “We’re short about 1,000 and maybe 1,500. So we really want to encourage and help those families to get registered. We can’t get children onto buses without registration.”
