As a part of our bus service, BVCS is required to complete bus evacuation drills. Our first drill will be on Thursday, November 19.
- Location – Each route will do their drill at a suitable location during their route (i.e. not at BVCS).
- Delay – routes will be delayed by the amount of time it takes to complete the drill. We anticipate that this will be about 10 to 20 minutes. You’ll be able to track bus progress using BusTrak.
- Procedure – this will essentially be practice of:
- orderly disembarking from the bus using emergency exits, gathering at safety site, head-counting
- radio training (designated high school students
- this will not be intensive: there will be no significant role-play and no simulated trauma
- Important – it’s important for as many bus riders as possible to attend these drills, since it will train them in the event of a bus emergency. Please do not pick up your child from school in order to avoid the safety drill.
If you have questions or concerns please contact the BVCS office.
