When children ride in a car we are confident our parents make sure their child is either safely fastened in a car seat or a seat belt. According to the Minnesota Highway Patrol, school buses do not have seat belts because they use a system called Compartmentalization. School bus seats are strong, energy absorbing and closely spaced to keep children safe, like an egg in a carton. However, just like seatbelts and car seats need to be fastened properly, in order for Compartmentalization to work, children need to be sitting in a way that keeps them safe.
The Menahga School District began enforcing the standard for Compartmentalization on Monday, October 10th. All children are now required to be sitting on their rears, upright – back to seat and facing forward with no parts hanging out into the aisle in order for the bus to be moving.
We are asking parents to be partners with us in keeping their child(ren) safe. We need parents to support our efforts and help their child understand and reinforce that the bus driver’s job is to DRIVE!
Parents need to be clear that their student’s behavior is their responsibility. They need to react appropriately and promptly to notice about their child’s behavior while on the bus.
We are asking parents to expect some delays as we begin implementing this new standard. It will take some time getting used to, but safety is always more important than keeping a schedule. Our goal is to make sure that our students arrive to school and home safely. Parents’ cooperation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. If you have questions concerning any of the above matter, please do not hesitate to call either of the Principals or the Superintendent.

The Menahga Public Schools consists of two separate but united entities working together. The building is a K-12 facility with the offices, classrooms, and other work areas under one roof. Many of our older students work as teacher's assistants and help the younger students creating a beneficial learning environment for all.
