School Bus Safety Week
Good evening, My apologies for the lateness of this message, our ParentSquare system was experiencing outages throughout the day, but is now fully functioning. October 20-24, 2025 is National School Bus Safety Week. Local police, the Highway Patrol, and Stark County Sheriff's office will be in our community and following bus routes. Please see below for more information on bus safety from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. M. Hearn National School Bus Safety Week is October 20-24, 2025. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is urging drivers to slow down and be aware of school buses in their communities. Although school buses are one of the safest modes of transportation, injuries and fatalities do occur outside of or near the buses. Most often, these tragedies occur because a motorist has failed to slow down and obey the bus’s stop sign, or to follow local traffic laws. Nationally, school bus passing is illegal, and it is a deadly risk to bus riders and their caregivers. Drivers should always come to a complete stop when a school bus stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing. From 2014 to 2023, there were 1.5 times more fatalities among pedestrians (171) than occupants of school buses (113) in school-bus-related traffic crashes. A total of 209 school-age children (18 and younger) died in school-bus-related crashes during that period, either as occupants of school buses or other vehicles, or on foot or bike. Of those deaths, 79 were pedestrians. From 2000 to 2023, there were 61 fatalities in crashes that involved a driver illegally passing a stopped school bus, an average of 2.5 fatalities a year. Almost half of those fatalities (26) were pedestrians who were 18 years old or younger. When a school bus’s red lights are flashing and the stop-arm is extended, drivers have a legal responsibility to slow down and come to a complete stop. This is not a suggestion — it’s the law. In fact, yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. This is when motorists should begin to slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles. Respect the “Danger Zone” The school bus loading and unloading area is called the “Danger Zone.” Specifically, this is any side of the bus where the bus driver can’t see the child and, therefore, the child is in the most danger. These areas include: 10 feet in front of the bus, where the driver may be sitting too high to see a child 10 feet on either side of the bus, where a child may be in the driver’s blind spots Behind the school bus For more information about school bus stop safety, please visit www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/school-bus-safety#the-topic-bus-stop-safety .
