 A School Bus Safety Panel formed by the Knox County Sheriff's Office met on Monday, August 4th, at 11:00 a.m. in the Sheriff’s Conference Room on the L-1 level of the City-County Building.  Dr. James McIntyre, Director of Schools, as well as Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen attended. Discussed were the transportation issues for the upcoming school year.  

 

The Bus Safety Panel includes representatives from the Sheriff’s Office, Knox County Schools, bus contractors, the Knoxville Police Department and Rural Metro Corporation.  The panel was formed in 1997, in response to several major bus accidents where a number of children were injured. The panel will hear an analysis from the Accident Response Team, and will discuss concerns of contractors and drivers. 

 

“The Bus Safety Panel has been an extremely useful tool for us.  By everyone coming to the table to address concerns and identify problem areas, we are helping to keep our children safe to and from school,” says Sheriff Jones.  “Raising awareness of the need for bus safety is so important.”

 

In addition to school bus safety, the Sheriff’s Office is actively addressing the issue
