A reminder for School Bus Safety:
State law requires all vehicles to stop for school buses when the bus driver activates the flashing lights and has the crossing arm fully extended. Red flashing lights indicate students are either entering or exiting the bus. Motorists must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus that is displaying red flashing lights or a stop arm. Please pay attention and anticipate children any time there is a school bus coming to or leaving a stop!
