Nearly every Brown County Schools bus route is changing this school year due to new legislation. It affects the way bus drivers drop off and pick up children on U.S. and state highways.

Section 7 of Indiana Code 9-21-12-20 now says that “when a school bus is operated on a U.S. route or state route … the driver may not load or unload a student at a location that requires the student to cross a roadway, unless there are no other safe alternatives.”

However, if the bus “must load or unload an elementary school student at a location that requires the student to cross a roadway that is on a U.S. route or state route outside of a city or town boundary limits,” the school board can approve that, says Section 8 of the law.

The law also says that the driver “shall load and unload a student as close to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway as practicable.”

“BCS policy has been to pick up students as close to the edge of the roadway as practicable,” the school transportation department wrote in an email to The Democrat. “BCS Student Transportation strives to always be as safe as possible.”

Current routes and bus drivers are listed below.

With questions or concerns, contact Roger Cline, director of transportation, at 812-988-5412.
