The third week in October is National School Bus Safety Week, and school officials urge drivers to be cautious when driving near school buses. Be watchful of children loading and unloading a school bus. Also, be mindful that if a bus is stopped with red flashing lights, you MUST stop.

National School Bus Safety Week is an active and evolving public education program and an excellent way for parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus operators, school administrators, and other interested parties - to join forces and address the importance of school bus safety.  Designed to promote school bus safety, school districts throughout the country observe School Bus Safety Week.
