BUS PASSING
The Le Mars Community School District is making headway on reducing the number of school bus violations in the district. Superintendant Dr Steven Webner says the district has been collecting data on school bus violations for about five years now.
Le Mars Police Chief Kevin Vande Vegte says the law is clear about drivers buses while they are stopped to load and unload students.
Dr. Webner says in the first year they collected data – 2017-18 – there were 95 school bus violations. The next year brought 120 violations. Last year there were 48. So far this year, there have been 17 violations.
