Schools are nearly back in session and that means school buses will be back on the road.

🚍State law requires any driver to stop at a school bus displaying red flashing lights or an extended stop sign.

🚍Drivers who pass school buses while they are loading or discharging school children can be charged with a class A misdemeanor and the court has the option to suspend their license.

🚍Let’s keep our kids safe. Stop for school buses. Don’t follow too closely and give them room to make wide turns.
