Ars†28-0414.01 school bus drivers; requirements

Does the Governing Board ensure that anyone who operates a school bus transporting school children possesses at least a Class B license and a School Bus Certificate?

Each applicant, in order to be certified, shall meet and maintain minimum standards that include requirements concerning moral character, knowledge of school bus operation, pupil and motor vehicle safety, physical impairments which might affect the person's ability to safely operate a school bus or which might endanger the health or safety of school bus passengers and knowledge of first aid. Additional certification requirements include completion of an initial course of school bus driver safety and training including behind the wheel instruction. The standards shall provide that tests be performed to detect the presence of alcohol or the use of a drug in violation of ARS 13-34 that may adversely affect the ability of the applicant to safely operate a school bus and that hearing tests may be performed with or without the use of a hearing aid.

Ars†28-797 school crossings

The highway commission may establish crosswalks in front of each school building or school grounds abutting thereon where children shall be required to cross the highway or street. Additional crossings across highways not abutting on the school grounds may be approved by the highway commission upon application of school authorities. The district should assure that adults are used as guards at no abutting school crossings.

When school crossings are established, do school authorities cause to be placed within the highway portable signs indicating that school is in session, placed not to exceed 300 feet each side of the school crossings, and "Stop When Children In Crosswalk" signs at school crossings, and do school authorities maintain these signs when school is in session and cause them to be removed immediately thereafter? Notwithstanding any other law:

When a school bus is being operated upon a highway for purposes other than the actual transportation of children either to or from school, are all markings indicating "School Bus" covered or concealed?

Is every bus used for the transportation of school children equipped with a signal with the word "Stop" printed on both sides in white letters not less than five inches high on a red background, and is the signal an 18-inch reflectorized octagon sign manually operated by the operator of the school bus in such manner as to be clearly visible from both front and rear when extended from the left of the body of the bus?
