SCHOOL BUS SAFETY WEEK

Eagle Pass Independent School District celebrates National School Bus Safety Week on October 20-24, 2014. Schools and safety advocates throughout the Maverick County are using the week as an opportunity to highlight the importance of school bus safety. This week, The Texas Department Public Safety has been working side by side with our School District bus drivers to ensure public vigilance within our school zones. Motorists should be reminded of their important role in stopping and exercising care and patience when a school bus flashes its red lights and extends its stop arm. 

For years, school buses have provided safe access to learning for Eagle Pass school children through secure and dependable transportation to schools. School Bus Safety Week reminds students, parents and motorists of their important role in school bus safety

More than 5000 students ride the school bus in Eagle Pass, Texas each day, with more than 26 million school children transported in 480,000 school buses nationwide.
