RETSD TRANSPORTATION BUS EVACUATION DRILLS
Message from the Director of Transportation:
"The Public School Act P250-R.M. 465/88R - Pupil instruction: The school board shall ensure that at least twice in each school year each pupil is instructed in safe school bus riding practices and participates in emergency school bus evacuation drills which shall be conducted at least once during the Fall term and at least once during the Spring term of each school year."
The River East Transcona Transportation Department has an excellent safety record. In maintaining this record we carry out Bus Evacuation Programs in all our schools in the early Fall and late Spring of each school year.
The safety of our children is of the utmost importance and must be given first consideration.
