National School Bus Safety Week: October 17-21
“Flashing Red. Kids Ahead." Alarming statistics of how motorists are putting kids in danger by the illegal passing of stopped school buses.
Arkansas school bus drivers recently reported an alarming 884 instances of motorists illegally passing stopped school buses in ONE DAY. A total of 3,896 school bus drivers representing 227 school districts participated in the yearly, one-day survey.
On morning and afternoon bus routes, bus drivers recorded the number of instances where motorists passed stopped school buses that had their red lights flashing. According to Act 166 of 2019, it is illegal for motorists to pass a stopped bus with its red lights flashing, as students are getting on and off the bus at that time. If convicted, the fines for doing so range from $500 to $2,500.
Of the 884 instances, 711 motorists passed from the front of the bus. While a small number, 12 frightening instances occurred where motorists passed on the right side of the bus where students enter and exit the bus. This is compared to 872 instances where motorists passed on the bus driver’s left side.
National School Bus Safety Week serves as a reminder to the possible dangers of distracted driving. We encourage everyone to please be attentive while driving and report any instances of illegal passing of a stopped school bus to the authorities. Thank you for your help in keeping our students safe.
Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on Thursday, October 20th from 2:00-8:00 pm in the cafeteria.
Also, a reminder that school will not be in session on Friday, October 21.
