Bus drivers prepare to head back to school
SUMMARY: As schools in Starkville, Mississippi, reopen, bus drivers are back on the road, highlighting the importance of managing both driving and student behavior. It takes about three months to become certified as a school bus driver, which requires a Commercial Driver’s License and specialized training. The Starkville Oktibbeha School District promotes positive student behavior through its B.U.S program, which stands for “be responsible, use respect, and stay safe.” This initiative incentivizes good behavior by allowing students to enter a raffle for cash prizes, aiming to create a safer and more positive environment during school commutes.

SUMMARY: Catastrophic flooding in Texas over the July Fourth weekend killed at least 104 people, including 28 children, mostly near Camp Mystic, a century-old girls’ summer camp in Kerr County. Search-and-rescue teams continue to search swollen rivers for dozens still missing; officials expect the death toll to rise as more rain threatens the saturated area. Many victims were swept from cabins by flash floods early Friday, some clinging to trees. Authorities will investigate warnings and evacuation delays, noting poor cellphone service hindered alerts. Despite warnings issued before the flood, some residents didn’t receive them. President Trump plans to visit the state.
