It is getting to be that time of year. Sept 1 is the first day of School. Remember an intersection is an all way stop and you may not proceed until a school bus has deactivated the warning signals.

As usual our officers will be out watching and following buses to ensure the safety of our children.

Convictions for passing a school bus are severe. $250 fine plus $35 surcharge, 5 points assigned to your driving record and a 60 day suspension of your drivers license.

Help us keep our kids safe and when in doubt or it is close, stop for the bus.
