Free school bus safety video

By James Kraemer

Navistar International has combined forces with the National PTA to offer a complete "Be Cool, Follow the Rules" cost effective school bus safety program, including a coloring sheet, you can print out on your computer.

Operation School Bus Safety, is part of "Be Cool. Follow the Rules," a nationwide school bus safety campaign. The award-winning children's video emphasizes appropriate behavior on the school bus, emergency evacuation procedures and instructions for the correct ways to boarding and exiting the school bus are also featured. The video is available for free (plus $5 S&H each) from Navistar.

2safeschools recommends this video as part of the school's bus safety program for kindergarten and elementary school age kids.

When placing middle school age kids in a mentor role the program can be effective through through middle school age at K-8 schools -- middle school age kids can learn a great deal when they are doing the teaching.

School staff may also want to recommend this free video to parents for viewing and school bus safety discussions with their children at home and in PTA meetings.
