Recognize local drivers during bus safety week

National School Bus Safety Week, which is October 19-25, has been set aside to make everyone more aware of the responsibility to teach children about school bus safety. In reality, this instruction should take place all year. Beginning with the youngest children, respect of the school bus and its driver must be taught. It is also extremely important for motorists to be aware of school buses on the road. School buses make frequent stops and sometimes traffic is slowed. When the yellow or red flashing lights are on, the bus is stopping to pick up or drop off children. Motorists must never try to pass a school bus at this time. Stop arm violations are against the law, and school bus drivers will report this offense. Wa-Nee Community Schools take great pride in safely transporting students and protecting them from harm. The following is a list of Wa-Nee bus drivers, with over 300 years of combined driving
