South Carolina State DOE Approves StudentConnect Technology for
Implementation on State School Buses
StudentConnect May Now Approach Each School District for
Implementation on Their Respective School Buses
ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Oct 30, 2013) - StudentConnect
(http://www.studentconnect.us), a wholly owned subsidiary of East
Coast Diversified Corporation (OTCQB: ECDC), today announced it has
received clearance from the SC State Department of Education,
office of transportation, that its technology is suitable for
implementation on South Carolina School buses.
The technology allows transportation managers better
administration of students riding on the school buses. Instant
notifications are sent to transportation officials and parents when
student's get on or off school bus. Alerts are provided if a
child gets on or off at wrong location or fail to get on or off the
bus. Other features include automated bus arrival
notifications to parent, transportation absence requests, automatic
bus transfer and transit point bus rider management.
"We are excited about this approval and opportunity. Our
technology simply provides information to schools and parents that
may be critical to a child's safety," said Kayode Aladesuyi, CEO,
East Coast Diversified Corp.
StudentConnect executed 5 year contract with the first school
district in South Carolina this month. The system is offered to
schools and parents at no cost and therefore presents no financial
burden to tax payers nor have any impact on the school's budget.
South Carolina is one of few States in which the State owns the
school buses.
