There are 50 million children in public and private schools.  School buses transport half of them each school day.  Of those bus riders that were surveyed, 41% of elementary school students and 52% of middle school students report that bullying happened on the day of the survey.

Bullying prevention or even better proven bullying preemption solutions like the Kamaron KC3 Positive Label Program are critical for bus safety.

The schools that participated in the Positive Label Program report a 75% decrease in bullying behaviors (name-calling, taunting, teasing) on the bus.  Likewise, there was a 50% decrease in bullying behavior issues (repeat problems requiring office referral).

Based on traffic accident records, school buses are much safer than the family car.  But we also must focus attention on students’ safety from being bullied.
