February 26/Web: Student Safety Door to Door, Part II

For more than 20 million youngsters, each day begins and ends with a trip on a bus. In addition, 10 percent of all K to 8th graders walk or bicycle to and from school, while others are driven. The greatest risks to students occur not only while riding the bus, but also while walking to and from school and walking to and from the school bus or auto drop off. The purpose of this program is to provide an overview of student safety while they are being transported to and from school.
During the webinar, the presenter will discuss creating a safe student travel environment. The key topics to be covered include:

• Student safety management
• Federal safety standards
• Driver selection and training
• Driver conditions
• Safe school premises
• Supervision
• New technologies for safe travel
• Accident investigation techniques.
