Brief Explanation:
The California
Education Code requires that at least once each year school districts conduct
appropriate instruction in safe bus-riding practices, including pupil
participation in an emergency bus evacuation drill. This instruction is
provided for all children in elementary schools or comparable programs and
includes students jumping out of an emergency exit onto a mat from a parked
bus. Instruction for secondary students is provided only for students
receiving transportation and is conducted at the school loading zone in the
form of a brief 5 to 10 minute verbal presentation. Both types of
presentations are scheduled on a day agreed upon by both the school and the
Transportation Department.
A more detailed explanation of the program may be downloaded below along with
the drill schedule. The other links are for a jump waiver form for students
who cannot jump and a post-presentation survey. We appreciate your feedback.
