BUS ACCIDENT PROCEDURES

Despite all precautions, the possibility of bus accidents cannot be entirely eliminated. In most cases, the sturdy construction of a school bus absorbs the impact of an accident, and injuries to students, if any, are minor.

However, in the case of any accident involving a school bus, the Director of Transportation will request that police be sent to the scene.

  • The school nurse will check students when they arrive at school.
  • The school will contact the parent/guardian of those children involved to notify them of the accident.
  • Parents who have questions regarding an accident should contact the school.
