As a parent, chances are you trust school bus drivers to handle your children with the greatest of care. Parents usually believe that school buses are only driven by qualified and trained personnel and that the buses are properly and regularly maintained and looked after by the school district. Yet, when school personnel fail to follow the required safety regulations, the outcome can be severe and tragic.
