🛑🚍 Safety tip of the day: Always wait until the bus comes a complete stop, the doors open, and the driver’s signal before stepping on or off.

Patience at the stop = protection on the road. #CASchoolBusSafetyAwareness

The Unified Against Hate campaign is a district-wide effort to build awareness, prevention, and accountability — empowering students, staff, and families to recognize hate, speak out against it, and replace it with empathy, kindness, and understanding.

Hate can take many forms — in words, actions, or silence. But in Los Angeles Unified, we believe that every student deserves to learn in a space where they feel seen, respected, and safe.
