In Manatee District we are so lucky and happy to have a Director who has all kinds of ideas about the safety of our students. We also had the signs that were put to the back of the bus and had to be brought up front after the route was finished, but drivers still were not doing it. We eventually went to the Child Reminder System in which the driver had to go to the back of the bus and either lift the emergency door handle or push a button to deactivate the system. If they try to get off the bus without doing it the horn would continue to blow until it was reactivated and then deactivated. It is a wonderful thing to have and we have not had any incidents where a student was left on the bus.
