Protecting our children at all costs also means making sure that they are secure in other aspects other than just keeping them safe from outside shooters and perpetrators. This includes also making sure they are safe on the way to school and back home. Especially if they ride the bus!
Seat belts on busses can play a major life saving role and even influence the safety decision-making skills of children in the long run. We know that seat belts are associated with vehicle collisions and wrecks, but what about posture, patience, attentiveness and even bullying prevention! Yes, Bullying! As students are forced to cope with the changing elements of obtaining an education some students are having difficulties enduring those changes. Children often have issues that sometimes only need to be expressed in an appropriate manner, not penalized for miscommunication of correspondence. The bully mentality may invade the passive lack of structure when it comes to "keeping your hands and feet to yourself". Meaning, seat belts can often restrain a bully from accessing a potential target/victim.

"Despite the obvious safety benefits, many school buses do not have seat belts or other types of safety restraints to hold children in the event of an accident. There are drawbacks to seat belts – cost and making sure they are used, primarily" .
