What is the proper action if students are aboard a school bus before it begins to move?

  1. The driver must be seated and ready to depart

  2. All doors must be closed

  3. All seated passengers should be buckled

  4. All students must be quiet

The correct answer is: All doors must be closed

If students are aboard a school bus before it begins to move, closing all doors is a crucial safety measure. Ensuring that all doors are closed helps prevent any accidental falls or injuries as the bus prepares to depart. It also limits the risk of individuals being exposed to outside hazards and enhances the security of the passengers inside. While drivers need to be ready to depart and passengers should be seated and buckled for safety, the immediate priority is to secure the bus environment. Likewise, maintaining a quiet atmosphere is beneficial for focus and safety, but the primary action before the bus begins to move is the secure closure of doors.
