ACCIDENT PROCEDURES (color/7 mins./2003) 2-0597
Even when professional school bus drivers use their very best defensive driving skills and safety practices, an incident, through no fault of their own, can still happen. It's not something most drivers like to even think about, but preparing drivers for these situations is vital. When a crash occurs, drivers must get a grip on their emotions-fast-because there is much they must do to protect young passengers, other motorists, themselves, and also to prevent further damage and possible liability. By memorizing the procedure demonstrated in this training program, the driver can swing into action immediately, despite the rush of emotions.

What is a school transporter's responsibility if a sheriff wants the names and addresses of students who ride a particular bus? Shouldn't drivers be made aware of students with violent tendencies?
This Guide explains the legal and practical issues concerning confidential student information contained in education records.
