Riders are in charge of determining switch-off points. Riders are also in charge of their own transportation to and from switch-off points.

Arts-Kids' unique approach also improves communication and problem solving skills among participants. Arts-Kids continues to grow. In addition to successful ongoing programs at Park City schools, the program at North Summit Elementary school in Coalville has expanded to two groups of 25+ students each due to increased interest and need. At the invitation of the principal of North Summit, a transition group was added for 4th graders to help ease their way into middle school. In collaboration with Valley Mental Health, ArtsTeens added a high risk group at Park City High School for students that are facing suspension. Arts-Kids is also collaborating with the Utah Department of Juvenile Justice and is seeking funding to implement a weekly art therapy program for incarcerated teens at the Slate Canyon Detention Center in Provo. "Art programs have been found to generate positive change in youth in the correctional setting," said Noela Karza, CSW and Assistant Director of the center. "The program will give youth an opportunity to tap into their emotions through art."

We will take a zero tolerance approach to drivers passing the school busses when the red lights are flashing. The Summit County Deputies will conduct daily routine patrols by following school busses throughout Summit County and will be issuing citations when necessary. These deputies will be in both marked patrol vehicles as well as unmarked vehicles. "When it comes to the safety of children, we all have a duty to remain vigi- lant", said Sheriff Dave Edmunds.
