Bus safety and responsible driving

Posted Date: 10/30/25 (10:23 AM)

Responsible driving by our community is always important when we consider bus safety and students who wait for the bus at bus stops throughout the school district. Bus safety and responsible driving is even more important during this time of year when it is dark in the morning.  The Washington State Driver’s Guide provides information regarding bus safety and state laws.  The guide can be found via this website:  https://dol.wa.gov/driver-licenses-and-permits/driver-training-and-testing/driver-guides
 
See below for specific information about our state laws.  Note that traffic fines are doubled for anyone who passes a stopped school bus.
