Buses Earn 100% Pass Rate Award
The Motor Carrier Division inspects school busses in Michigan on an annual basis. The district's 36 buses were subjected to a rigorous inspection and passed 100%. More than 160 items were inspected on each bus. This safety award is attributable to the effort and dedication of Transportation Supervisor, Jo Wheeler, Mechanic Norman Gwisdalla, and Safety Coordinator Don Morton. Very few districts achieve 100% score on this inspection. |

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY
|
Drawstrings on jackets, sweatshirts and other clothing items pose a danger to your child. They can become snagged on school bus handrails or doors, on playground equipment, on escalators or other mechanical equipment. Incidents of snagged drawstrings or toggles have resulted in injuries and even deaths. We don't want this to happen to any of our passengers. Information campaigns by the national Safety Council, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have caused many clothing manufacturers to eliminate drawstrings from their clothing. But some still remain. We at Laidlaw, in conjunction with your school officials, urge you to inspect all of your children's existing clothing and eliminate these hazards whenever possible. The simplest solution is to either remove or cut all drawstrings from the clothing. |

BUS ROUTE INFORMATION -- 2007-08 This past year was a wonderful experience for all of us at the Harrison bus garage. The driver's enjoyed seeing all the students' they have been transporting for years. We are looking forward to another successful School year!! We are completing
the routing and student list, and have made some route changes. There will
be new stops and we will be entering into new area's and where the student
counts were very high. Please remember that when we assign a bus stop:
student safety and the law are the factors that develop a bus stop. It is
very important that your children only enter and exit the bus at the bus
stop that has been arranged for them. If you have not been contacted by
the bus garage, (either by phone or mail) this summer. You need to contact
the bus garage as soon as possible. This means that your student's are not
scheduled on a bus. Please notify the bus garage if you have any questions of concerns. Thank You!! 989-539-7082 |
