Drivers conduct daily pre-trip inspections. All buses are inspected annually be the State Highway Patrol. Spot safety checks are conducted periodically. Emergency evacuation drills are conducted twice each school year. All drivers possess a commercial driver's license.
Safety is the primary criteria in establishing the location of bus stops.
The law requires that stops must be limited as far as possible. Therefore, where several children from several homes can meet safely at a single point, it must be the only stop. Students are required to board and leave the bus at their assigned bus stop. In addition, students should be at their bus stop at least 5 minutes early. These requirements are necessary for the safety of the students and the need to get students to and from school in a timely manner.
