SUMMARY: With students returning to Gulfport school district next week, it’s crucial to focus on safety around school zones and bus stops. Gulfport Police Lieutenant Jason Dcra and Community Relations Coordinator Tiffany Power emphasize the importance of driving carefully and being vigilant. Drivers should always obey school zone rules, avoid passing loading or unloading buses, and remain aware of their surroundings. Parents should educate their children on pedestrian safety, ensuring they cross streets correctly and avoid distractions. Community involvement is encouraged to protect children. Penalties for violating these safety rules are severe, so diligence is necessary to prevent accidents.

More kids will be at the bus stops or walking to school as Gulfport High School students head back to school next week.
