Michigan school bus drivers gain active-shooter training
A grant of more than $800,000 from the state of Michigan will go toward Proactive Response Training for school bus drivers and transportation directors throughout the entire state. The training was developed by the Mason County Sheriff’s office along with West Shore Educational Service District and focuses on “training the trainer." The training focuses on being prepared for the unexpected, building scenarios around potential risks and giving employees the tools to respond before law enforcement or responding officers can reach the incident.
In the summer, the West Shore Educational Service District in Ludington, Mich. also helped to train bus drivers from Ohio districts via Zoom.
