(KPEL News) – A recent situation with a school bus in Bossier Parish is a good reminder for all parents and guardians across the state of Louisiana, after a parent followed the bus because their child was late getting to the bus stop.
Who Knew There Were So Many Rules Concerning School Buses in Louisiana?
And, if you are wondering about all of the rules, speculations, and regulations involved in Louisiana when it comes to buses, you should be sure to read the 134-page document called the Louisiana Department of Education Bulletin 119 Supplement, Volume I: Louisiana School Bus Regulations, Specifications, and Inspections when you have several hours of reading time, or NOT.
The thing about this situation is that many parents have probably been through this a time or two. You take your child to the school bus stop just a minute late, and you see the bus taking off. Instinct says, jump in your car, follow the bus, wave for them to stop, and your child can get on the bus.
