SCHOOL BUS SAFETY
With the beginning of each school year, it is important to be reminded about the safety of students being transported to and from school and school-related activities. Federal law requires that manufacturers meet stringent safety standards for vehicles used by or for a district.
These standards require school buses to be more conspicuous (amber and red flashing warning lights, stop arms and crossing arms), and have enhanced
seating systems, crashworthiness protection, mirrors and emergency exits. What does this mean for the children that ride the "Big Yellow Bus'? It means they are virtually riding in a steel cage.
