A Note on Transportation Safety

Just a note for your peace of mind, as required by the new Texas state law, all children enrolled who are under 8 years old and under 4'9" in height will be provided with a new booster seat when travelling. Just FYI, all the seats in my van are high-back seats and have three-point safety harnesses. Every child wears an individual, properly-fitted shoulder strap and lap belt while traveling. Children are not allowed to sit in the front passenger seat.

On a similar note, with much in the news about van safety, I did a great deal of research before purchasing my new van, a 2008 12-passenger Ford E350 van. This van meets current Texas state law for school child transportation, but beyond that, it is equipped with AdvanceTrac roll stability control for an added measure of safety. The overwhelming majority of safety incidents with vans have been with the 15-passenger extended versions, not the 12-passenger standard length version which I have, and some of these accidents have been attributed to driver misjudgment. I have a Class B commercial drivers license and 15 years experience safely transporting children in 12-passenger up to 30-passenger vehicles. Your child's safety while in my care is my number one priority. If you have any questions about your child's safety while here, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.  Kay Kozlowski
