No Bus Accidents Are Reported
North Carolina operates
one of the largest school bus
transportation systems in
the nation. As with any
mode of transportation,
accidents do occur. Ac
cording to the 1980-81 latest
figures available, there
were 1,021 bus accidents in
North Carolina during the
school year.
Dr. John Dunn,
Superintendent of Edenton-,
Chowan’s Schools proudly
boast that during this past
1981-82 school year, Edenton-
Chowan’s bus drivers have
driven a total of 296,820
miles and have had no
chargeable accidents.
“Parents and citizens of
the county are fortunate,”
Dunn said, “to have such
skilled, well-trained, con
scientious school bus
drivers transporting
students.” Dr. Dunn
commends the drivers for
their successful effort to
make Chowan County “one
of the safest transportation
systems operating in the
whole state.” In speaking
for the school ad
ministration Dunnn said,
“We’re proud of them and
happily boast that we have
such an outstanding safety
record.”
Four years ago, Edenton-
Chowan Schools consciously
set a goal to get through a
school year with no
chargeable accidents; two
years ago, two; one year
ago, one.
According to Dunn, the
system’s safety record has
steadily improved to the
point of no accidents this
year. “Our goal is to
maintain this record, but
once you’re on top this
becomes difficult,” Dunn
mused.
Edenton-Chowan’s ac
cident free record has been
attributed to a combination
of several factors, including
the thoroughness of the bus
driver training program,
keeping the busses in top
notch condition, holding
sessions with drivers on
safety rules and bus

discipline and conducting
bus safety programs for
students.
Perhaps the biggest con
tributing factors are the
good attitude of the bus
drivers themselves toward
the responsibility of their
job and the rigid qualifying
requirements set by the
Board of Education for
drivers. For example, a bus
driver who, personally and
not necessarily when
driving a school bus,
receives any traffic
violation or charge at any
time loses the privilege of
being a bus driver. This may
seem to be a little strong to
some”, Dr. Dunn com
mented, “but considering
what could be at stake, the
Board requires these
stringent local rules.”
Forty-two school buses
were operated daily in the
Edenton-Chowan system by
twenty-three student
drivers and nineteen adult
drivers, some making two
trips. The average age of
these forty-two people was
twenty-four years old.
Children who live more
than lbb miles from the
school they attend were
provided with free school
bus transportation. In
Chowan County, sixty-four
per cent of the total school
population rode school buses
daily for an average, total,
round trip mileage of one
thousand six hundred forty
nine miles per day.
James Kinion, Associate
Superintendent in charge of
transportation, also praised
“the excellent group of bus
drivers who have done an
outstanding job” in tran
sporting students.

E applaud Weyerhaeuser for
1 its foresight and its in

i Beginning this fall, the
Weyerhaeuser Company
Foundation annually will
provide a total of 22
scholarships worth S9OO
each to students enrolled in
programs such as main

science.
“The need for technical
expertise is critical if
eastern North Carolina is
going to attract and support
industry,” said Dr. Norman
E. Johnson, region vice
president for
Weyerhaeuser, expaining
why his company
established the scholarship
program.
“We have been very
pleased with the job our
community and technical
colleges are doing in
training young people,”
Johnson said. “We felt it
was time to give students in
vocational and technical
fields the kind of support
and opportunities our
company historically has
given to outstanding
university students.”
