As school approaches, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind citizens to be more mindful of students who may be walking and more cautious with buses stopping and picking up students. Remember not to pass buses when they are stopped as they are picking up students and that those students may be crossing the road to enter the bus. Please give yourself more time to arrive to work in lieu of the school traffic.
