SCHOOL BUS STOP SAFETY
By Tonya Martin,
Transportation Supervisor
Every year students are killed at
school bus stops. According to the
annual survey conducted by Kansas
Department of Education’s School
Bus Safety Unit, in 2006, the United
States had 13 student deaths occur
in the loading/unloading zone of
school buses. Can you imagine how
TRAGIC that must be for all those
involved?
SAFETY at school bus stops is
the key to prevent injuries and/
or death. Here are some BASIC
RULES to keep our stops safe.
1.) No playing games such as
chase. Do not push or shove.
2.) Stand at least 6 feet (3 giant
steps) from the road while waiting
for the bus. Further in bad
weather.
3.) Have all your belongings in
your backpack to prevent things
from getting dropped.
4.) CROSS 10 feet (5 giant steps)
in front of the bus and ONLY when
the driver’s says it is O.K.
5.) NEVER walk behind the bus.
These basic rules can keep our students
safe. |
