 ABOUT YOUR CHILD'S SAFETY

Buses Earn 100% Pass Rate Award

The School District was recently awarded the
 Certificate of Excellence by the Michigan State Police Motor Carrier Division for attaining a 100% pass rate for school bus safety inspections during the 2006-2007 school year for the fifth year in a row.

    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, 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.
