Syron -Penh boor new school bus re Stricter regulations for the operation of school buses were approved last week by the Huron - Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School poard. The regulations were introduced by Arthur Haid, RR 4, Listowel, chairman of the transportation committee, based on the findings of the coroner's jury on January 12, investigating an October 26 fatal bus accident near Moore- field on Wellington County Road 10, which recommended stiffer controls over bus equipment and operations. A seven-year-old girl, a passen- ger in the school bus when it left the road and ,ran into two hydro poles, was killed, and eight other children received minor injuries. The following day the driver "of the bus committed suicide. The jury ruled the girl died of head injuries after she was thrown against a steel crossbar on the back of a bus seat. A breathalizer test taken by the,, bus driver three hours after the accident, had shown a concentra,a, tion of .08 per cent alcohol (the legal limit ) or higher, estimated at the time of the accident to be 912 ounces of alcohol in the blood stream. The new school board regula- tions call for the install ►titin padded coverings for the :tel crossbars on the back of sats tuff all buses carrying sepra.te- school students. The padding is •tn be installed on the five board owned buses immediately. *Con tract bus operators have until Sep tem ber 1, 1972: as a deadline, to have this precautionary meas- ure taken. • Other regulations are: — Board .transportation coin= rnittee members will make per- sonal visits to all bus drivers on a regular basis.` -Copies of all school bus drivers' licences (for board- owned buses ) be made available to the board office, updated with', renewals and changes affecting the licence. _ Copies of school bus certifi- cates of mechanical fitness to bp. made available to the board of- fice by all independent contrac- tors before September 1 and January 2 of each school year. —Certification by all school bus .contractors that' guarantees that. drivers suspected of being under the influence of alcohol be barred from driving the vehieles. Viola- tion of the .guarantees will auto- matically terminate the, board's contract with the operator.
