Booneville school officials are urging drivers to exercise caution during morning and afternoon bus routes. They emphasize that student safety is their top priority.
Under Nathan’s Law, passing a school bus with extended stop arm and flashing red lights is illegal. The district has equipped many buses with safety cameras to monitor violations. These cameras can capture stop-arm violations and may lead to citations, even without a police officer present, according to district officials.
School officials stress that this enforcement is about more than traffic rules. It is a commitment to protect students. Drivers are reminded to slow down, stay alert, and always stop when a bus’s stop arm is extended. The message is clear: stop means stop every time, officials said.
Authorities encourage drivers to be patient and vigilant to ensure the safety of Booneville students during bus pick-up and drop-off times. The district emphasizes that abiding by Nathan’s Law helps keep children safe on the roads.
