SAFETY NOTICE

Monday morning I received a call from the DSISD Transportation. They specifically shared concerns of non-compliant traffic in Highpointe. Drivers are passing buses that are stopped and have safety stop signs out, simply going around them.

This is incredibly dangerous to the students utilizing the bus service. Some students need to cross Cool Spring Way while the bus is stopped and should be a safe zone.

Please, abide by the stop signs and bus traffic for the safety of Highpointe kids.

Bus Safety

For thousands of students in the DSISD area, the school day begins and ends with a trip on the school bus. School buses are one of the safest forms of transportation on the road today. In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, riding a bus to school is 13 times safer than riding in a passenger vehicle and 10 times safer than walking to school. The reality of school bus safety is that more children are hurt outside the bus than inside as passengers. The greatest risk is not riding the bus but approaching or leaving the bus.
