According to Allen Wood, Duplin transportation super visor, school bus safety should be a priority for the entire family. "The children have the most important part in school bus safety," Allen Wood, Duplin transportation super visor said. "And, we want to encourage parents to teach their children to know and obey the laws for riding school buses." Each trip the Duplin School buses made during the 1982-83 school year transported about 6,442 students. Wood said. Throughout the school year the buses travelled 1,234,882 miles total with only four minor bus-related accidents. "Each school has a letter or a handbook of bus rules which is usually given on registration day to the stu dents riding buses," Wood said. "We hope the children will read these regulations and follow their driver's in struction. The transportation department promotes and emphasizes all drivers report discipline problems to their principals." According to Wood, each driver must have six months' driving experience before receiving a bus license. Drivers are screened through their high school adminis trative personnel and must complete two days of class work and two days of road work before taking the final written test for a bus license. Before a new driver is assigned a bus. Wood said, he or she will ride with other bus drivers. Each driver is paid S3.68 per hour. "1 feel good about our last year's accident record." Wood said. "The bus drivers did a good job, but they will need the support of their passengers' parents to en force school bus regulations again this year." Wood pointed out a few of the most important rules for school bus safety. Children should leave home early enough to arrive at their bus stop on time. Wait for the buS in a safe place ? well off the roadway. Enter the bus in an orderly manner and take a seat immediately. Follow the instructions of the school bus driver or bus patrol. Remain in a seat while the bus is in motion. Keep all heads and arms inside the bus at all times. Keep aisles clear at all times. Remain quiet and orderly. Be courteous to the school bus driver and fellow passengers and be alert to traffic when leaving the bus. Wood pointed out discipline problems can result in tem porary suspension from riding the school bus End Of Summer Sale Selected Gift Items 20-50% off 7fc3VhL Brass.
