Illinois State House District 118 issued the following announcement.
It’s back to school time once again! I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy, safe, and successful new school year. To the teachers, administrators and staff that make each school year possible, to the parents that help with homework and run their kids to and from all sorts of activities, THANK YOU for all that you do.
It isn’t only the Pre-K and elementary students that are headed back to class. This week was move-in week at SIU Carbondale. Southern Illinois’ flagship University and the city of Carbondale are once again buzzing with excitement and hope for the promises that a new year will bring.
As we are headed to and from school, there are some important traffic safety tips to keep in mind. Far too many cars still pass stopped school buses, and that is one of the easiest things you can avoid. The Illinois State Board of Education provides a helpful guide for motorists that encounter stopped school buses on the road. You can find all the information you need to know about School Bus Safety here.
