Important Student Safety Reminder Regarding Highway 4 Bus Stops \\ "We would like to bring an important safety concern to your attention regarding student transportation practices. It has come to our attention that some students are crossing Highway 4 to access earlier bus stops. While we understand that students may be trying to optimize their transportation times, it is our district's established practice that students should not cross Highway 4 to reach a bus stop. Highway 4 is a high-traffic area, and crossing it on foot poses significant safety risks. Student safety is our highest priority, and while we cannot practically enforce this restriction at all times, we strongly urge parents and students to adhere to our guidelines to ensure everyone's well-being. Our district follows guidance outlined in California Code of Regulations Title 13, Section 1238, which mandates that bus stops be placed in safe locations and prohibits students from crossing major highways like Highway 4. This regulation emphasizes the importance of minimizing exposure to hazardous traffic areas and ensuring that bus stops are accessible without the need for dangerous crossings. Compliance with these regulations is critical to reducing risks and safeguarding our students. We ask for your cooperation in discussing this with your child and reinforcing the need to use designated, safe bus stops that do not require crossing such dangerous roadways. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact me." - Deanna Tipton, transportation director
