A message from Senior Lead Officer Maria Gray:

Efforts are being made to ensure the safety of our children at the various bus stops and school crossings. Just a reminder to everyone: red lights flashing at the rear of school buses mandate drives to STOP completely. It does not mean proceed with caution. It does not mean you can proceed if you don’t see any children. It does not mean anything except STOP for the entire duration that the red lights are flashing. No exceptions. Everyone is in a hurry and everyone is running late. But there couldn’t possibly anything worse than having to live with the guilt of injuring or killing an innocent child coming or going from school. Citations will be given on a zero tolerance basis. Please pass the word! Thank you!
