🚌 Understanding Ohio School Bus Safety Laws With schools reporting back on August 8, it's crucial to remember Ohio's school bus and zone laws, designed to protect our children. In our busy lives, it's easy to get frustrated by school zones and buses. However, always slow down to 20 mph in school zones during restricted times and remember that residential speed limits are 25 mph. Do you know when to stop for a school bus? On two-lane streets, all drivers must stop at least ten feet from a stopped bus. On roads with four or more lanes, only drivers on the same side as the bus must stop. Non-compliance can lead to hefty fines and license suspensions. See the link to the PDF below for more details. Information from West Chester Township, Ohio Newsletter August 2024

School Bus season is back! Here are some reminder tips from Alberta Transportation to keep our students safe: 🚸Use caution and be alert when driving near buses and in school zones. 🚸Watch out for alternating flashing amber lights, which means a school bus is slowing to stop where students will either be getting on or off the bus. 🚸Slow down and stop when the school bus activates its alternately flashing red lights. This means you must stop whether you are approaching an oncoming bus or following one. The only exception to this rule is when the bus is on the opposite side of a two-way highway that is physically divided by a median. 🚸Proceed only when the red lights on the bus have stopped flashing. 🚸Watch for school buses loading and unloading children, even if the lights aren't flashing. 🚸 Be on the lookout for children crossing the road. #SchoolBusSafety #BackToSchool #Students #BeSafe

Looks like another reason why kids should use our cheap and safe public transport as early as possible: "School bus fares set to rise again in 2024; MOE allows increase to cover higher costs". This presumably hits both international schools and local schools but international more as they tend to live further away? For example I see many residents' kids in Sentosa getting picked up early in the morning but school buses for the international schools on the mainland. Local school kids mostly live near enough to walk/cycle or get the bus/mrt due to the catchment area criteria? And for those kid too young to go by themselves on the buses the domestic helpers could go with them. Either way it's an expense that parents can do without.

Education in Hawkes Bay is being designed to collapse The other question that is important, can those two designated schools cater for all the students that are suddenly required to change to those schools to enable them to get schooling. Potentially 8 buses of probably 50 students each. 400 students split between 2 schools. Do they really have 4 to 5 unused class rooms and teachers, each. Probably 300 to 400 families torn apart because the Ministry of Education wants to save money and poor the cost onto individual families for new uniforms new ideologies, some having to move from thier homes closer to the schools. This 8 bus cancellation is only the tip of the iceberg. Districts will suffer as the other school routes that are not mentioned in this article take affect. The planned recession of bus routes discovered so far are: Te Pohue cut from 63 km to 24 km saving the ministry $17, 600 per year or costing the district that much if we wish to keep the school opperating well, and high school students in the district are forbiden to ride the primary school bus (I guess that is too efficient for the MoE), the Waimarama primary bus route is to be cancelled, Tiniroto bus cancelled, nearly every rural school is being targettted from the messages I am getting. What sort of schooling entity destroys the education of our young people. People in charge of public entities should have empathy for what they do. There is no empathy for education in the Ministry of Education. Please everyone who is affected speak up! The Ministry of Education may be a toxic organisation to deal with, and quote rules, but as a community we can face them collectively. Every community, every Iwi, every council, every family, every Marae needs to speak up, or we lose our education, we lose rural schools, we lose our communities, we lose our resilience.

Did you know that you can appeal decisions regarding the home to school transport for your child? Just like with EHCPs, having home to school transport is based on a criteria, and you can challenge the Local Authority’s decision if they decide the criteria hasn’t been met. Have you ever appealed Local Authority transport decisions? We can support you with your transport appeal 🤩 Get in touch if you need support. #EHCP #SEND #Transport #School

Repair can be a small step for an individual to access a repair cafe to get their kettle fixed or for an individual to try a DIY clothing repair at home. At home, MiA is undertaking more substantial repair steps most days in 2024 and fixing something everyday, as well as telling the story of the fix. We also attend a monthly repair cafe. However, repair can be a quite a substantial leap for businesses such as ABI Electronics - Manufacturers of test, repair and reverse engineering systems, Matt Fletcher 🇬🇧 and Rom-Control Pty Ltd Certain repair skills have or are being lost but there are surprisingly lots of knowledge and skills out there. These, in MiA's opinion, are not being well supported by our leaders and decision makers. Dedicated venues and insurance coverage are barriers. As well as the relentless ongoing-focus on recycling [downcycling] and the new infrastructure push, like waste to energy plants. And where is the training at for maintenance and repair skills? Are tomorrow's electronic and electrical engineers learning board component testing and replacement skills? Or are they simply replacing whole PCBs with new ones? Danny has worked alongside a couple of electrical engineers who do not know how to change a faulty lamp cord. MiA is keen for university campuses to establish repair cafes and have left a comment on Monash University's video about its plan for net zero precincts. It appears that the municipality of Monash does not have a repair cafe. It would therefore be great if a repair cafe could be established at the university. Repair, don't waste!
