Some CSD buses will get seatbelts

Some of Coeur d’Alene School District’s buses will have seat belts starting this fall.

The Coeur d’Alene School Board unanimously voted Monday to only buy school buses with three-point shoulder harness seat belts from here on out. The board also decided to retrofit seat belts into six existing school buses.

“I feel like this is the right thing to do,” Trustee Tom Hearn told the Press. “I’m willing to be reasonable and gradual as this moves ahead.”

Hearn brought the idea of putting seat belts in buses to the school board late last year/ Bethany Blitz , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
