jack: coming up on local 5 news at ten, straight from iowa university to the national football league? it could happen, and we'll show you how. stephanie: next.... a confrotnation between a bus driver and a student.. it was caught on cell phone. tonight we find out why johnston school busses don't all have security cameras.

we would want something in place that is monitoring the environment of what's going on" jack: johnston community schools is looking to get more cameras on their buses. but there's one big thing that's holding them back. jack: the district says it's installing more of them. but covering the whole fleet looks unlikely. one of the buses without a camera...... was the one where a driver is accused of

assaulting a special needs students last week. and if it weren't for kids recording the whole thing on their cell phones, we may have never really known what happened during that confrontation. stephanie: johnston community schools already have 2 cameras installed on their buses and eight more are on the way. but with a total of eighty buses, they say there's one big problem in the way. local 5's stephanie kim has more. stephanie? the need for more cameras on buses is more apparent than before. for johnston community schools, it's something they've been working on. "a second pair of eyes to monitor behavior, it's great practice to have a camera on there in case anything should happen." only 2 out of their 80 buses have cameras installed... and they say before last week's assault, they ordered eight more. "once they arrive they'll be installed on buses that have the highest need for situations like that." johnston schools is one of the few in the metro that own and operate their buses. that means the money for the cameras will have to come out of their budget but at two thousand dollars a piece... covering their whole fleet will take time.

" that's 160 thousand dollars, we're in a deficit, we can't do that" some school districts around the metro like west des moines, waukee, and ankeny have security cameras on all their buses. they also have contracts with other bus companies. others like des moines public schools bought their own cameras and have been using them for the past eight years. "all of the buses have at least 1 camera on the inside of the bus, some of our buses, have 2 cameras, on in the front one in the back. with 105 buses and over 12 thousand kids to transport everyday, they say they need the extra set of eyes. "the camera does act as a bit of a deterent" and they say even with the high cost "they're not inexpensive they are between one thousand to two thousand dollars per bus" they can't imagine what it's like without them. "the cameras truly changed how we do business, improves the safety for our kids, and backs up our drivers." stephanie: johnston community schools is also

looking at possibilities of privitizing bus services for the next school year. they say cameras will be a priority if they do decide to contract buses. jack: here's some background on this story. a 15 year old johnston student with special needs got into it with the bus driver on the way home from school on october 29th. the bus driver, robert scarbough, was charged with child endangeremnt and assault, and has since bonded out of jail. the student and his family have spoken to local 5 about the incident, and are waiting for the school district to finish its investigation before deciding on any possible legal action. stay with local 5 for the latest on this story. stephanie: coming up on local 5 sports, a group iowa state design students are looking to revolutionize the way we play football. see the new gloves that may soon be on your favorite team.

image conscious, so, one of the things that i know that the students have to consider was developing a product that gives the players and the teams a signature look."at iowa state, the industrial design program has formed several partnerships including one with cutters, a premier designer of receiver gloves for football, including the nfl. david ringholz, department chairman: "company may have something in mind when you come in, but you unleash the power of a studio full of industrial design students and there are often unexpected results." a final product that will now be in the dick's sporting goods spring catalog. but finding the perfect look that caught on with cutters didn't come immediately. david ringholz, department chairman: "we teach convergent and divergent thinking, techniques that kind of teach students to set aside their most obvious ideas." the final design, an ode to the military...and fighter jets. david ringholz, department chairman: "the hope is that when a player puts these gloves on, it's like they're ready for battle." and gloves might not be the end, as the class continues, the next group of students will try to develop other gear for the sidelines and on the field. plus, experience that

could put them on the fast track to a career in the field. david ringholz, department chairman: "they'll have something for their resumes, something for their portfolio, as well as something that's a very memorable academic experience." in ames, jacob peklo, local five news. we are iowa. jack: in addition to the partnership with cutters, the industrial design students are also aligned with tupperware and boeing. some big business company for a bunch of kids who haven't even graduated yet. good luck! jack: now moving back to the last round of high school football playoffs before state. our sports team is working hard to bring you high lights, scores and more from playoff games across from playoff games across the state. tonight, we have nine games on deck. jack: in 4a, lewis central takes on dowling catholic in 4a, lewis central takes on dowling catholic at williams stadium. and valley will take on johnston. in 3a norwalk taking on dc-g. pella is at davenport assumption. and webster
