It’s that time of year again…Back to School! 🚌🏫

Students in Winneshiek County are heading back to school NEXT WEEK! That means Turkey Valley School District, South Winneshiek School District and Decorah School District students will be on our roadways. All students get to school via many ways…ie: walking, biking, driving and busses. It is imperative that WE prevent a tragedy! Let’s work together to ensure a safe school year for ALL our students.

Our school buses are hauling precious cargo so make sure you know the laws and share this information/post with your friends about school bus laws.

1. It is illegal to pass a bus from the rear when the amber or red lights are flashing.

2. When approaching a bus from the front, drivers should proceed cautiously at no more than 25 miles per hour while the ambers are on and be prepared to stop.

3. Drivers must stop a minimum of 15 feet away from the bus when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is out.

4. The penalty for violating school bus laws is an automatic driver’s license suspension in addition to a fine.

It won’t matter that you are late for work if a child is injured or killed. School bus safety laws are designed to keep our children safe, and it is everyone’s responsibility to do their part in knowing and abiding by these laws.
