School Bus Evacuations
The Pennsylvania School Code requires that all schools, including school districts, charter schools, career and technology centers, and intermediate units, that use or contract school buses for transportation of students shall conduct two emergency school bus evacuation drills during each school year. The first drill must be conducted during the first week of the school term and the second during the month of March. Each bus evacuation drill must include the instruction on the location and use of emergency exit doors and fire extinguishers and the proper evacuation of the bus.
