National School Bus Safety Week
In schoolbus on October 14, 2009 at 1:58 amOct. 19 through 23, 2009, is National School Bus Safety Week, and Safe Kids Kansas reminds parents and caregivers that school bus transportation is the safest way for school-aged children to ride. School buses are nearly eight times safer than passenger 
vehicles.
Drivers should be reminded not to pass a school bus with its lights flashing. In Kansas, it is against the law to pass a stopped school bus from either direction when the stop arm is extended. Fatal crashes involving school bus occupants are extremely rare events, even though school buses serve daily in every community. Approximately 25 million children ride school buses to and from school each day.
Last year, 26 children were killed as pedestrians getting on or off a school bus, or while waiting at the school bus stop. In fact, five times as many children were killed while getting on or off the bus than while riding it. The theme of this year’s observance is “Avoid Harm, Obey The Stop Arm.”
