Next week is the first day of school for most schools in our listening area. With school starting, Cottonwood County Sheriff, Jason Purrington wants to remind people to be extra attentive while driving and be aware of busses out and about transporting kids to and from school. Sheriff Purrington stated, The law says it is illegal — and very dangerous — to pass a stopped school bus when the large red lights located on top of the bus are flashing or the stop sign is extended. Flashing lights or the extended stop sign mean the bus is picking up or discharging students. You must stop whether you are approaching the school bus from the front or overtaking it from the rear. KDOM encourages everyone to be aware of children whether they are riding the bus, walking or riding their bikes.
