Remember the safety laws
It is illegal to pass a bus displaying its flashing red lights
These lights are displayed when students are getting on or off the vehicle. This law is strictly enforced, and all violators shall be fully prosecuted.
A reminder to motorists…
School buses discharging or taking on passengers on school property fall under the same laws as buses on public roads.
Idling school buses on school grounds
State law requires school districts to take steps to minimize the idling of the engines of school buses and other school vehicles on school grounds. While students are boarding and departing school buses, the engine should be turned off. Students should be instructed about the importance of getting on and off buses in an orderly and efficient fashion to minimize loading and unloading time. Bus engines should also be off while parked at sporting events and other school activities. Exceptions to this “no idling” policy can be made in cases of emergency, mechanical issues or for necessary heating.
