To the editor:

We all know everyone hates being behind a school bus!

Please quit running our lights, be it yellow letting you know we are stopping, or red lights letting you know we are picking up or letting off students. We all have a job or home to get to.

My job is to keep students safe while travelling to school or safely home. Parents are waiting for them to get home in one piece.

We carry everyone's child at some point in their life. The children are excited to see their friends and excited to get home like everyone else.

As a bus driver, we carry the most important people in the world. So let us bus drivers do our job safely, recognizing what we do is very important.

Thank you

Debbie Henderson
