BCPS officials roll out new campaign as National School Bus Safety week underway

Broward County Public School officials rolled out a new campaign as National School Bus Safety week has begun. The Safety is Shared campaign is intended to remind drivers about the dangers and illegality of passing a stopped school bus or to speed in a school zone. Student leaders spoke about their passion for raising awareness about the issue in Davie. Young drivers, they re very happy to have their driver s license, and they get distracted a lot because they have their friends in the backseat, or they re picking up their friends from their homes. And maybe they re rushing to school, so it s easy for them to forget like Hey, there s a bus, they re also going to school, And if they blow past it, they can hit a kid, said Diana Ryabova, who attends Hollywood Hills High School. We want to make sure that we re being proactive and being ready if an accident actually happens on our buses that may impact students, said Broward Schools Superintendent Howard Hepburn. Of
