Reminder - Pennsylvania School Bus Stopping Law  

As the start of the school year approaches, the T/E School District reminds community members about the importance of following the Pennsylvania School Bus Stopping Law to help keep students safe.

 

Pennsylvania's School Bus Stopping Law:

  • Motorists must stop at least 10 feet away from school buses that have their red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
  • Motorists must stop when they are behind the bus, meeting the bus or approaching an intersection where a bus is stopped.
  • Motorists following or traveling alongside a school bus must also stop until the red lights have stopped flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn, and all children have reached safety.
  • If physical barriers such as grassy medians, guide rails or concrete median barriers separate oncoming traffic from the bus, motorists in the opposing lanes may proceed without stopping.
  • Do not proceed until all the children have reached a place of safety.
  • The penalties if convicted of violating Pennsylvania´s School Bus Stopping Law include:  

    • $250 fine
    • Five points on your driving record
    • 60-day license suspension
Individuals who witness a motorist breaking the Pennsylvania School Bus Stopping Law should obtain the car's license plate and a physical description of the driver prior to contacting the local police.

Newsweek Magazine's List of Best High Schools 

For the T/E community members who follow Newsweek magazine's annual America's Best High Schools story, you are aware that Conestoga High School (CHS) has been included in the list for the past several years, yet was absent from the list this year. Since the criteria Newsweek uses to determine rankings did not significantly change, we inquired about our status. We learned that Newsweek changed the way in which they collect data about high schools. Newsweek responded that they sent an email earlier in the year to all secondary schools requesting information. According to Newsweek, the email was sent to a CHS counselor. The counselor, however, reported that the email was not received. We subsequently sent our data to Newsweek, and were informed by the Newsweek staff that CHS would have ranked competitively based upon our students' performance and Newsweek's calculations.

The T/E School District publishes an annual publication called the Conestoga Profile that spotlights the outstanding achievements of CHS students. The Conestoga Profile provides an overview of the school's strong educational program and statistical information about our students' academic performance.  

2011-2012 School Board Meeting Schedule     

The School Board will meet in regular session on the following dates and times during the 2011-2012 school year. Meeting agendas and minutes are posted on the T/E School District web site once finalized. 

 

All meetings are open to the public and will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Tredyffrin/Easttown Administration Offices at 940 West Valley Road, Suite 1700 in Wayne unless otherwise noted. Meeting locations are subject to change, so please check the T/E School District web site or call the Business Office at (610) 240-1915 to confirm meeting locations.
