Kasty ISD Focuses on School Bus Safety

Katy, Texas (October 22, 2013) – The week of Oct. 21-25 is National School Bus Safety Week and Katy ISD is encouraging students and the community to “Stay Back from the Yellow and Black,” through this year’s national theme. Throughout the week, Katy ISD police and DPS officers will ride on selected school buses to ensure that safety measures are taking place among bus riders, drivers and nearby cars.

“Each year, the Katy ISD school bus fleet travels more than 4 million miles, transporting more than 20,000 students each morning and afternoon,” said Alan Anders, Director of Transportation for Katy ISD. “With school buses being such a common sight around Katy, we want to make sure that everyone, students and community members alike, is safe in and around school buses.”
