Please share this information with your local media so they can assist us in getting the word out to those traveling on our roadways across the state. Basically, unless separated by a grass median, unpaved area, or physical barrier all traffic traveling in both directions MUST STOP for a Georgia school bus while loading and unloading students.
Make sure you let your local Representative and Senator know that you appreciate their support towards this important piece of legislation.
We must protect 100% of our students, 100% of the time!!
