🚨 NEW MISSOURI SCHOOL BUS LAW TAKES EFFECT FRIDAY 🚨
With school back in session, we want to make our community aware of an important change for Missouri drivers.
Beginning Friday, August 28, 2026, Missouri is increasing penalties for drivers who illegally pass a stopped school bus. 🚌
Under the new law, violations can result in increased fines, points on your driver's license and license suspension, with significantly greater penalties when a child is injured.
As our buses travel throughout the community each morning and afternoon, please remember:
🛑 Slow down and stay alert.
🛑 Watch for flashing red lights and an extended stop arm.
🛑 STOP when required.
🛑 Never risk passing a stopped school bus.
