School buses are such a common sight; it can be easy to forget their important function.“We’re carrying precious cargo --- our children,” said Rick Enis, transportation director for Henryetta schools. The safety week is a national public education program designed to encourage parents and motorists, as well as school bus drivers and school administrators and teachers, to work together to promote safer school transportation.
“Bus drivers are multi-taskers,” he said. “They are practicing defensive driving while having to make sure 60 kids sitting behind them are following the bus rules.”
“We ask everyone to just not focus this week, but focus each and every day, so we can make sure our children get to school and back home safely.”
