Do children cross the street to get on the bus?
Crossing the street must be avoided as much as possible. If children must cross the street or highway either to board the bus or to exit the vehicle, they must be escorted across the street by the bus monitor or other adult. Before children are escorted across the street, the driver must turn on the red overhead lights and extend the stop arm if this is allowed by the state. The escortor and child must cross in front of the school bus where they can be seen by the bus driver.
