Buster the Bus Stops at Jefferson Primary School
Bus safety is serious business in the Huntington School District and the Huntington Coach Corp. shares a similar interest in safety. So the bus company sent Buster the Bus to elementary buildings, including a stop at Jefferson Primary School where students proved to be an attentive audience.
Huntington Coach employees are highly trained at presenting safety information to young children and have a way of bringing such sessions to life. The district has developed a fine working relationship with the company and both parties share a desire to prevent student accidents and improve overall safety on buses and along local roadways.
Buster is a robotic, radio controlled miniature school bus designed to teach young students. Huntington Coach’s safety team uses the device to help students understand basic bus safety procedures, including how to wait for the bus to arrive, how to board and disembark and how to move around the vehicle.
Huntington Coach is the official carrier of the Huntington School District and has invested significant resources in teaching students and drivers how to prevent serious incidents. The company is regarded as a leader in school bus transportation and has won numerous awards.
“We are striving to avoid accidents and injuries of any sort,” Huntington Assistant Superintendent Joseph Giani said. “Huntington Coach safety presentations play an important role in our efforts to keep students safe each day.”
The Jefferson School faculty and staff, like their counterparts across the district, are constantly reminding students about safe practices aboard buses and the etiquette expected of all passengers. “Our goal is to go through the year with no incidents of any sort,” Mr. Giani said.
