Give kids the space they need to travel to and from school safely.

It's National School Bus Safety Week - and whether you are a Golden Eagle, Trojan, Borderite, Mountaineer, Pioneer, Lion, Mariner, Storm, Armadilo, Bayhawk, Lynx, Blackhawk or Flame, you deserve to be able to get to school safely.

Drivers, keep your eyes open for the flashing lights and stop sign. Watch for kids crossing, even on county roads, and give them plenty of room in those roundabouts.

Together, we can ensure that everyone gets to school safe and sound - even those cross-county rivals.
