The Regina Catholic school division has signed a deal with a new bus company.
Beginning July 1, 2016, the division will no longer be using First Student Canada.
Instead, it has signed with LP3 Transportation Solutions, a new company that the school board says is "created and run by experienced bus transportation experts."
It says with the change there will be equipment upgrades, including on-board cameras in every bus.
Some of the buses will also run on propane, which the board says is cleaner and cheaper to operate.
