Deming Public Schools’ Director of Transportation Frank Milo said his department will be holding mandatory rear-door bus evacuation drill exercises Monday, Jan. 14th, 2019.
Milo said the drill will involve bus drivers having students get on the bus, then pulling the bus forward a minimum of 10-feet, stopping, instructing students on what to do, and then having students exit the bus.
Students will be instructed to walk a minimum of 75-feet away from the front of the bus, assuming the issue is toward the rear of the bus.
Milo said some drills will take place in the morning, but most will be Monday afternoon.
He estimates buses may be delayed by 10-15 minutes.
The mandatory school bus evacuation drills for Columbus Elementary will be held from Monday through Friday, Jan. 14th-18th.
