Platte County School District No. 1 transportation department would like to remind all motorist that school is now back in session and passing a school bus while the red flashing lights and stop sign are out is against the law.
According to State Law, you must come to a complete stop behind a school bus, and approaching a school bus. You must also come to a complete stop if you are traveling on the opposite side of the road if traveling on an interstate or highway if there is no median in the road.
