During #NationalSchoolBusSafetyWeek, let's all follow the rules of the road. Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. Drivers must stop and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before starting to drive again. Thanks for keeping our Shawnee students safe! #ShawneeSTRONG
