Dexter, Missouri - Chuck Kasting with the Stoddard County Ambulance District, is shown teaching a safety class to Dexter school bus drivers.

The class focused on management of a diabetic or epileptic event in a school bus environment.

Dexter bus drivers have monthly training sessions like this one to keep current with Missouri state licensing requirements and to provide a safe and secure ride home for students. 

Dexter Public Schools currently runs 26 daily bus routes, including two special services buses and one early childhood education bus.
