Dear Somerset families- 

Your child's safety and well-being is our top priority. 

All children riding our buses are now required to wear their seatbelt when on the bus, per Florida State Staute 316.6145 (2) “Each passenger on a school bus that is equipped with safety belts or a safety restraint system shall wear a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt at all times while the bus is in operation.”

This rule applies to all Somerset buses used for school sponsored field trips, sporting events, as well as the daily routes.

Any child who chooses not to follow instructions to wear their seat belt while on the bus will have consequences, including detention, suspension from the bus, and/or possible loss of bus privileges. 

This rule applies to all students riding our buses that attend Somerset Academy Bethany, Somerset College Prep Academy, and Somerset Career Academy. 

Please speak to your students about this. Thank you for your understanding and your support in helping to keep our students safe.

Thank you
