There's a big push going on at Southington Public Schools promoting School Bus Safety.
The administrators at South End Elementary School in Plantsville, CT have sent home several notices reminding us to NEVER pass a stopped school bus. Aparently there has been an alarming increase in the number of pedestrian child fatalities around buses nationwide making this is a growing concern.
Southington Public Schools would like to remind drivers that they must stop if they encounter a bus heading in either direction - whether following it or oncoming - if the warning lights have been activiated. Never pass a stopped school bus when its warning lights are on ... this is not only a very serious traffic violation resulting in fines and/or license suspension, but it could also kill someone!
The Public School Risk Institute is a nonprofit association that provides a variety of education and information services to school transportation professionals in the United States and Canada. Visit www.SchoolBusSafetyCo.com or www.PTSI.com for more information.
