A great remider from Safe Kids Worldwide.

With kids back in school, school zones are busier with lots of cars, buses, bikers, and pedestrians around. It is very crucial that drivers obey the school zone speed limit since it is lower than the actual speed limit. Additionally, drivers should pay attention to what the crossing guard is telling you to do at an intersection. To make sure kids can cross safely, drivers should be mindful that they are not blocking crosswalks. Teach kids to look left, right and left again before crossing the street, especially in front of school buses.

An investigation is underway in the Town of Kewaskum after a 4-year-old child was left unattended on a school bus following the completion of the child’s route on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

Citing the child's age, the duration of unsupervised time, extreme vehicle temperatures, and the driver's failure to check the bus despite a known alarm issue, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office is referring a child neglect charge to the Washington County District Attorney’s Office for review.

The bus driver, a 69-year-old man with nearly five years of experience as a school bus driver with Johnson Bus Service, was not taken into custody.
