Bus Service Implementing New Safety Measure

An extra measure of comfort for parents across the region.
The Northwest Student Services Consortium has adopted the “empty-checked” safety initiative.
The program requires bus drivers to ensure no kids are left on the bus.
A checked sign is placed in the back window after the driver has checked the bus for any remaining students.
The empty sign goes up after the driver confirms nobody is left on the bus.
Manager Judi Green says they were experiencing students being left on the bus, although it was rare.
Green stresses once is too often and this new policy will ensure that no one is left behind.
