Tips/advice:
The school buses for Crafton students are equipped with cameras (Bus Patrol) and enforcement has commenced. Please exercise extreme caution when driving around school buses as children can be unpredictable. These cameras are catching multiple offenders passing school buses with the red lights and stop signs activated on a daily basis. When you see the yellow/amber lights flashing prepare to stop because once the red lights and stop sign are activated, passing a school bus is a costly and dangerous mistake.
Parents, please look up the information regarding E-bikes, scooters, mopeds and dirt bikes and educate yourself and your children. Warnings have been issued and enforcement is ramping up with citations. We have had a recent rash of children crashing these types of bikes and getting injured resulting in ambulance rides to emergency rooms.
We are still in need of one more Crime Watch coordinator. If you are interested, please contact the police department.
