When a school bus comes to a stop and activates its red flashing lights, drivers traveling in both directions are required to come to a complete stop at least 20 feet away from the school bus. Drivers must remain stopped until the school bus resumes moving down the road or turns off its red flashing lights. Drivers who violate this section are guilty of a civil infraction and face fines between $100 and $500, and up to 100 hours of community service.

Know what to REPORT.

Ask APS
Question: How is the number of students determined? Students per class, per school, per bus route, per lunch hour, per recess, per sports team, IA's and teachers per school. How are the numbers determined?

Answer: The whole process starts with a simple count of how many students enroll in each grade. This number is then used to calculate how many teachers and staff are needed, and it also determines the school's total funding, since the state provides a set amount of money per child. This spending plan is used to pay for the necessary staff and resources. Finally, other specific rules and factors set the exact numbers: bus rider levels are determined by where students live and safety capacity, class sizes are limited by collectively bargained agreements, and sports team sizes depend on both athletic league rules and the number of students who sign up to play.
