School Bus Safety

By

Beaufort, NC – Every day millions of students use school buses as transportation to and from school. Although school buses represent the safest form of highway transportation, there are a number of safety factors of which both student and drivers should be aware. Hoping to ensure school bus safety, Sheriff Buck of Carteret County encourages caution whenever school buses are present.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in recent years there were an average of 131 fatalities in school transportation-related traffic crashes each year and more school-aged pedestrians have been killed during the hours of 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. than any other time of day.

“Children are often eager to get off the school bus because they are excited to tell their parents about all of the fun they had at school that day,” said Sheriff Buck.

“It is crucial that parents re-enforce the school bus safety rules children learn at school.”

Sheriff Buck also suggests that parents drive their child’s bus route with them to practice the proper safety precautions they can take to help ensure their child enjoys a safe ride to and from school.

Sheriff Buck encourages all parents to discuss the following safety measures with their children:

Student

  • Always arrive at the bus stop at least 5 minutes early.
  • While the bus is approaching make sure to stand at least three giant steps away from the curb, wait until the bus has come to a complete stop, the door opens, and the bus driver says that it’s OK to board.
  • Always walk on the sidewalk when preparing to cross the street near a bus. Make eye contact with the driver so that you are sure he or she sees you.
  • Never walk behind the bus.
  • If you are walking beside the bus, walk at least three giant steps away.
  • Use the handrail when entering and exiting the bus. Take extra precautions to make sure that clothing with drawstrings and book bags do not get caught in the hand rail or door.
  • Never stop to pick something up that you have dropped when a bus is stopped. Tell the bus driver or wait until the bus has driven off to avoid not being seen by the driver.

Motorists

  • Remember that children are unpredictable in their actions. Take extreme caution when traveling in a school zone.
  • If there are no sidewalks, drive cautiously. Be more alert to the possibility of children walking in the road.
  • Slow down and prepare to stop whenever you see yellow school bus lights flashing.
  • Never pass a school bus when there are flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended. This is a sign that children are getting on or off the bus. Motorists must wait until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and the bus is moving before they can start driving again.
  • Learn and obey the school bus laws in North Carolina.

Inmate Contact – Telephone Services

By

The Carteret County Detention Center provides inmates access to telephone services through a contractual relationship with a third party vendor, which currently is Paytel. All calls are recorded and subject to monitoring by detention facility staff due to security concerns including:

  • Protecting victims and potential witnesses from harassing telephone calls
  • Reducing opportunities for continued criminal activities from inside the jail, including threats to others
  • Helping reduce the potential for escape

Upon admission into the facility following an individual’s arrest, he or she is permitted to make a free local one-minute telephone call to inform family members, friends, or attorneys that he or she has been arrested. If an individual is not able to make bond and be released from custody, he or she will have daily access to a telephone up to two times daily, but no less than once per week; provided he or she abides by the detention center’s rules; cooperates with the detention center staff; and otherwise behaves in a socially acceptable manner. Access to the telephone is not a right, but rather a privilege, and as such, this privilege may be regulated and/or terminated accordingly.

The detention center vendor, Paytel, will allow an inmate’s first collect telephone call to go through free and can last no longer than one minute. After the one minute phone call, all calls become collect calls or if the inmate has money on his or her account they can make a debit call. Anyone wishing to accept telephone calls from an inmate will have to contact Paytel directly and establish an account with them. Do not call the detention center, as we are unable to assist you.

Once you have established an account, you can receive collect calls from an inmate. As the recipient of the call, if you agree to accept the call, you are responsible for payment of the call. If you do not want someone from the jail calling you, DO NOT ACCEPT THE CALL and you will not be charged.

If you no longer wish to receive calls from an inmate at the Carteret County Detention Center, please contact the detention center administrator or Paytel Communications by calling 1-800-729-8355 to have your number blocked.  Once you have done this, you must contact Paytel Communications directly to have the block removed from your phone.
