As part of the Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) initiative at Mountain Home High School, students in a project-based elective course are tasked with finding solutions to an ongoing safety problem: Motorists attempting to pass school buses, even when the buses are flashing red warning lights to signify that students are present, according to the Baxter Bulletin.
“Once you start looking for it, you see it happening everywhere,” said Daniel Jackson, a junior at Mountain Home. “It’s something that is very common.”
Jackson and two classmates wanted to create a public service announcement to raise awareness and combat the problem.
