Kansas City School Districts Will Use Alarms on Buses to Prevent Drivers Leaving Sleeping Children on Board

School bus safety has been a concern for many reasons over the years.  Until recently school buses haven't even had seat belts and even now  most still don't.  One problem that doesn't get the publicity it should is bus drivers leaving sleeping children on the bus.  Yes, it has actually happened and sadly it has been way to easy to happen.

Across Kansas City, school districts are starting to do something about it.  One step they've made is installing alarms on buses that will force bus drivers to physically walk to the back of the bus to shut off the alarm.  

 

Several school districts are already using these alarm systems on buses including Shawnee Mission, Olathe, Blue Valley on the Kansas side and Park Hill, Center and Raytown school districts on the Missouri side.

 

The experienced Kansas City Child Injury Lawyers are pleased that the school districts are making this move to protect the children in Kansas and Missouri.  There have been far to may cases of children being left on buses, whether at a day care or a school district bus.  It's about time school districts began making advances to protecting children on school buses.  After school programs such as La Petite for example have already been using these bus alarms on their buses for a couple of years.
