Parsons Police remind drivers to stop when a school bus has its flashing red lights and stop arm activated.

Drivers approaching from either direction must stop before reaching the bus and remain stopped until the bus begins moving or its warning signals are turned off. The reminder comes after officers stopped and cited a driver for improperly passing a school bus on today, which was the second day of school.

PPD says the citation carries a total amount of $360. Officers will continue enforcing school-zone and school-bus traffic laws throughout the school year.
