The Marion County Sheriff’s Department is asking the public to prioritize safety on our roads, especially around school buses. Recently, the department has seen a concerning rise in complaints about drivers passing stopped school buses while picking up or dropping off students.
Let’s remember to always be attentive and courteous behind the wheel. Please STOP when you see a school bus with its lights flashing. Not only is it the law, but it’s crucial to protect the young lives that are at risk.
