Safety Information

The Danger Zone

The Danger Zone refers to the 12-foot area surrounding a school bus. This zone is particularly hazardous because there are spots where the bus driver has limited or no visibility of students.

To stay safe, students should always exercise extreme caution in the Danger Zone. Upon exiting the bus, students are instructed to take twelve large steps away from the bus. If the K-8 student(s) requires crossing the street in front of the bus, the students must wait for the school bus driver to cross them.

STOP for the School Bus

This is a short video showing all motorists the laws they must follow when a buses red lights are activated. We actually give the viewer a breakdown of school bus stop procedures to give them a better understanding of the laws they are supposed to adhere to.

Authority of the Driver - 5 C.C.R. 14103.(a)

Pupils transported in a school bus or in a school pupil activity bus shall be under the authority of, and responsible directly to the driver of the bus, and the driver shall be held responsible for the orderly conduct of the pupils while they are on the bus or being escorted across the street, highway, or road. Continued disorderly conduct or persistent refusal to submit to the authority of the driver shall be sufficient reason for a pupil to be denied transportation. A bus driver shall not require any pupil to leave the bus in-route between home and school and other destinations. Governing boards shall adopt rules to enforce this section. Such rules shall include, but not be limited to, specific administrative procedures relating to the suspension of riding privileges and shall be made available to parents, pupils, teachers, and other interested parties.
