What should you avoid doing without written approval from the school district?

Avoiding changes to the location of bus stops without written approval from the school district is crucial because bus stops are carefully planned for the safety and convenience of students. The placement of a bus stop considers various factors, including the distance children must walk, traffic patterns, and safety concerns. Making changes unilaterally can lead to unsafe situations for students, like increased exposure to traffic or walking longer distances.

Having a formal approval process ensures that all changes are weighed against safety regulations and logistical considerations, protecting the well-being of students. Additionally, maintaining clear communication with the school district helps keep parents and guardians informed about any changes that may affect their children’s daily routines.
