States, since results are only as effective as the key-word search terms. Both Rocha and Allen said they also
receive news media alerts in addition to
notifications from state agency
officials and local law enforcement, but those alerts are usually related to school bus crashes with no resulting fatalities. Nonetheless, those reports are incorporated into training curriculum for school bus drivers. “We use those reports as real-life stories
in our school bus driver certification. It’s a learning tool, unfortunately,” Rocha said. In Texas, all new school bus drivers must complete a 20-hour course and
renew every three years with an 8-hour refresher course. Right before the 2011-2012 school
year, Allen said the Georgia DOE helped develop school bus safety curriculum for schools to teach K-5 students about the proper procedures for boarding on and egressing the school bus. Tis year, the DOE plans to modify the curriculum for middle school students, as well as to help educate the public by working with the governor’s office of highway safety. “We want to implement some type of
plan to educate the motorists in our state on the laws that could help improve our safety record across the state,” Allen said. ■
