From Chief Satterly and Superintendent Benjamin
🚌 Back to School Safety Alert for Kalama Families! 🚲
As the new school year kicks off, we’re asking all drivers to use extra caution around our walking, biking, and bus-riding Chinooks.
Please remember: Drivers who illegally pass a stopped school bus face a mandatory $500 fine that cannot be waived, reduced, or suspended.
To ensure our students stay safe, we’ve partnered with the Kalama Police Department. Beginning the week of September 21 (calls permitting), Kalama PD will be following school buses throughout the city to monitor traffic behavior and keep our routes secure.
The Eye-Opening Stats: • Washington bus drivers documented 960 illegal passes in a single day—that’s over 172,000 violations in a school year. • Nearly 341,000 WA students ride the bus daily, covering almost 100 million miles each year.
Please slow down, eliminate distractions, and always stop when a bus has its red lights flashing and stop paddle extended. Thank you for keeping our kids safe from the front door to the school door! 🛑

Seventeen years ago today, Sgt. David Kinterknecht of the Montrose Police Department made the ultimate sacrifice while responding to a domestic violence call.

The loss of Sgt. Kinterknecht continues to be felt by his family, friends, and the fellow officers who had the honor of serving alongside him. Though his memory remains with us every day, the anniversary of his passing serves as a solemn reminder of the courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment required of those who answer the call to protect others.

As we honor Sgt. Kinterknecht's life and sacrifice, we also extend our sincere gratitude to the men and women who continue to serve our community. Their dedication, professionalism, and willingness to answer the call each day reflect the enduring legacy of service that Sgt. Kinterknecht exemplified.
