Did you know you can check the safety history of your child’s school bus?
LANSING - With the start of a new school year, Michigan State Police are reminding parents and guardians that they have the ability to check the safety records of all school buses in Michigan. As part of Michigan’s School Bus Inspection Program, all public, private, denominational, parochial, charter school and public-school academy vehicles taking children to or from school, or school-related events by law must be inspected annually by a member of the MSP Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division. ”Anyone with a smart phone can scan a QR code displayed on the bus service door where students enter the bus,” said Col. James F. Grady II, director of the MSP. “Every parent or guardian has instant access to the condition of the vehicle transporting your student.” Once inspected, a bright green sticker showing the MSP shield and school calendar year is placed on the front windshield of the bus. Inspection results are then available to anyone by scanning the QR code displayed on the bus service door where students enter the bus.

Is This Anonymous Tool Making Michigan Schools Safer?
For as long as I can remember the rule on the street was "snitches get stitches" and there are plenty of movies, shows, and real-life examples of this phrase being a way of life for some people. Also, for a long time, the idea of minding your own business was considered the right thing to do because you don't worry about things that have nothing to do with you. Eventually, this was combated by the ideology that speaking up and helping someone out who needs it, is the humane thing to do.
