Another great National School Bus Safety Week is in the books! Each year, National School Bus Safety Week draws attention to the importance of school bus safety and those that make it possible. Thanks to all of the amazing school bus drivers throughout the region who help get our students safely to and from school!
A total of 18 schools and two district offices participated in National School Bus Safety Week 2020 with Georgia Commute Schools. From those 18 schools and two district offices, a total of 110 bus drivers received acknowledgment for their ongoing commitment to their communities.
