A note from Police Chief Doug Fuchs: With school starting back up, please drive carefully and be mindful of school buses. Allow extra time to get to your destinations during morning pickup times and afternoon drop-off. Traffic slows down significantly when buses are on the roads. Be mindful of the fact that children are near the road in the mornings waiting for the bus.
