“The School Bus Safety Task Force was created by Nathan’s Law and with the support of Gov. Phi Bryant. The mission of this task force is to help make traveling to and from school safer for our students in the state of Mississippi. There is no greater responsibility in our educational system than the safety of our students. I am proud of the work of the task force and appreciate the support of the legislature and our Governor in this important process.” Dr. Ben Burnett, Chairman of MS School Bus Safety Task Force.
School bus safety is a top priority in Mississippi. The Mississippi Legislature passed Nathan’s Law as a proactive strategy to protect our most valuable resource- children.
