Why school buses don’t drive through flooded areas
We know how important door-to-door service is, but during flooding, safety must come first. Driving or walking children through floodwater creates serious risks:
🚸 Student and Staff Safety – Even shallow water can stall a bus or cause accidents, putting everyone on board at risk.
⚠️ Hidden Hazards – Floods can conceal drains, potholes, debris, or electrical risks that are dangerous for buses and for anyone walking through the water.
🧍 Evacuation Risks – If a bus becomes stuck, getting staff and children out safely is very dangerous.
👉 For this reason, buses will stop at the nearest safe point that is not flooded. Parents will be contacted immediately to meet their child at that location.
🚫 Important: For your child’s safety, they should never be asked to walk through floodwater to reach or leave the bus.
Thank you for your understanding — these steps are in place to ensure every child remains safe, even in difficult conditions.
