Another fantastic summer is fading into a tiny dot in our rear view mirror but we are always excited for what fall brings here in Cecil County. The kids are back in school this week and soon we will be talking of football and homecoming and all of the great things that come with another school year.

In order to ensure that everyone has a safe school year, at least on the roadways in our area, you can help to do your part by obeying Maryland driving laws regarding school buses. Failure to do so can result in fines as high as $570 and with good reason. Nearly two dozen children are killed every year just getting on or off buses nationwide, generally because an adult could have been paying better attention.

If you are looking to brush up on laws regarding passing a school bus, please consult this handy graphic provided by the Maryland Department of Transportation.

We wish everyone out there a safe and successful 2016-17 school year!
