🎒🚌 BACK TO SCHOOL = SLOW DOWN & STOP! 🛑

As Raceland-Worthington students head back to school, let’s all do our part to keep them safe. Remember: When a school bus stops, you stop!

Kentucky’s new school bus law is about one thing—protecting children. Pay attention, slow down, and never risk passing a stopped school bus.

A few extra seconds could save a life.

Be alert. Be patient. Be safe. Let’s get every student to school and back home safely!
