The days may still be long and temperatures hot, but it’s time for school to start in many areas.
The beginning of school is always a little scary for children and their parents. Of course, one fear we have is for the safety of our children going to and from school.
Have you checked out the school bus safety procedures at your child’s school? Small children and big buses can lead to tragedy if good safety measures are not followed. Here are a few questions every parent should have answers to.
• What kind of training have the bus drivers had? How much experience driving children on buses has your child’s bus driver had?
• Do your children know where they are to wait for the bus and when to get on and off?
• Have you gone to the school to see what the traffic pattern is for buses loading and unloading children? Are buses allowed to move while children are walking in the parking lot?
• Do the buses have seat belts? Is the school planning on having them installed in buses?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has lots of information on school bus safety.
