Transportation
We provide daily transportation for thousands of students across the district, ensuring consistent access to education. School buses operate on scheduled routes with trained drivers who follow strict safety protocols. Students are required to scan their ID cards when boarding and exiting, and younger students in Pre-K and Kindergarten must be met by a parent or guardian at drop-off. Transportation services are coordinated to support timely arrival and departure, contributing to student attendance and academic success.
Stop. Watch. Protect: School Bus Safety Starts With You
The Sumter County School District is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all students, particularly during their daily transportation to and from school. Motorists are legally required to stop for school buses when red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended. This safety measure is not only a legal obligation but a critical responsibility that helps protect the lives of children in our community. We urge all drivers to remain vigilant, exercise caution, and adhere to school bus safety laws. Together, we can create a safer environment for every student.
