Bus Safety Drills: LITTLE EGG HARBOR SCHOOL DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT

Each year by law we are required to conduct two bus evacuations for each bus, one in the fall

and one in the spring. Our spring bus evacuations were started on Monday April 13, 2015 and

were completed Tuesday May 12, 2015. Each day we evacuated two to three (2 to 3) buses

out the front door in the AM when the students arrived at school. The schools included were

the Frog Pond Elementary, George J. Mitchell Elementary and Robert C. Wood, Sr. Early

Childhood Center. Bus evacuations went very well and all students were very attentive and

cooperative. Below you will find the date, bus numbers, driver’s names and time it took for

students to disembark out the front door. All evacuations were supervised by Doris

McCarrick, Transportation Liaison.
