Ms. Norton todays hearing on School Bus Safety is a timely hearing with children out of to see what needs to be done to keep them safe. I am interested in keeping them safe not only on school buses and as they get on and off school buses, but i am interested in keeping them safe in the streets as they go to school. It is true that school buses have a relatively set safety record. It is also true that children or everyed every day crashes.
