AFFTON, Mo. - During a practice run for her bus route, Affton bus driver Kathy Schnurr said four drivers failed to stop for her deployed stop arm.

“They just ride past it as if that stop sign's not there,” she said.

Schnurr hopes drivers will brush up on the laws regarding school buses, as classes in many area districts will resume Monday.

“We just need to reestablish those safe routines,” said Superintendent Travis Bracht for the Affton School District.

The district placed signs about bus safety along roadways near district schools.

In Missouri, illegally passing a school bus can result in a 90-day driver’s license suspension. Repeating offenses can lead to a 120-day suspension. Drivers can face a felony if their vehicle strikes a child.
