Discipline Required On Chattooga Buses
Chattooga County school
buses have geen inspected and
are ready to roll for the new
school year, Each bus has been
prepared for safety from a
mechanical standpoint,
However, School Supt. Don
Haf'es wants parents to remind
children of their role in school
bus safety,
“Unfortunately there are
times when discipfinary action
has to be taken to keep order
on the school buses,” Hayes
said. “A child is denied the
privilege to ride a county bus
if he continues to misbehave
after he has been asked to stop.
We try every possible means
before we put someone off the
bus, because we realize the
possibility of putting you to ex
tra trouble.”
The following offenses are
sulgect to disciplinary action
or dismissal from bus service
after a warning: making too
much noise, making noise at
any railroad crossinfi. throwing
paper, disobeying driver's re
quest, fighting, cursinfi or us
ing vulgar languge, shooting
spit balls, smoking, not staying
in seat, destroyin%]public pro
rert.y, bothering other children,
ittering, not keeping head in
window, drinking or eating on
Civil
Trial Set
A new trial date has been
set for a $125,915 damage suit
in U. S. District Court tiat in
volves a Chattooga County
couple. The case is scheduled to
get under way next Monday in
Rome.
Marshall S. Kirby and Jim
mie Sue Kirby filed the civil
suit in September, 1985
against State Farm Fire and
Casualty Co. and Bill
McClellan. McClellan has since
been dismissed from the suit,
according to court records.
The suit said a fire totally
destroyed the Kirby residence
on Dec. 7, 1984 but that State
Farm failed to pay the Kirby's
claim “without just reason and
acting in bad faith.”
The residence was valued at
$72,540, the suit saKs. The Kir
bys are askin? for the company
to pay the full value oF the
house, $5,000 in living ex
penses, $19,375 in penalties
and $25,000 in attorney fees.
The Kirby suit claims that
one reason State Farm gave for
not paying the claim was that
the residence was a mobile
home. They say, however, that
the residence was a mobile
home with a permanent struc
ture built around it and that its
construction was known to the
State Farm agent at the time
the policy was purchased in
September, 1984. The agent
denied that part of the Kirby
suit.
INTENTIONAL?
However, State Farm, in its
response to the suit, said it
denied the claim ‘‘by reason of
laintiffs having intentionally
gumed the insured premisis or
having caused them to be burn
ed.” The answer also said the
Kirbys “‘intentionally conceal
ed and misrepresented material
facts and circumstances
relating to their claim.”
The company said it had
paid $33,008.44 to First
Federal Savings and Loan
Association, Summerville, as
mortgage on the Kirby
property.
The case had been schedul
ed for trial last month in
federal court but was postpon
ed when the insurance com
pany could not locate a
witness, according to federal
court officials.
Tom Stewart, clerk for
Judge Murphy, said the case is
the ?irst one on the civil calen
dar for trial next Monday
morning.
Summerville attorney Jerry
Westbrook is representing the
Kirbys in the case while Atlan
ta attorneys Clagton H. Farn
ham and Kenneth A. Hindman
are representing State Farm.

For many years school
buses have been the safest way
for students to get to and from
school, and this year the buses
will be safer than ever, said
Georgia School Supt. Werner
Rogers.
%uring this school year
about 825,000 public sc{ool
students will travel more than
85-million miles to and from
school in 8,200 buses, accor
dinfi to Rogers.
ecent safety additions to
the buses incluge installation
of crossing arms on the front of
the buses. When the bus stops,
the arm swings forward so
students must walk far enough
in front of the bus for the
driver to see them. New buses
are re?uired to have the safety
arm affixed at the time of pur
chase. The 1986 General
Assembly allotted $441,108 to
pay for arms to be retrofitted
on all buses built in 1983 or
before. New buses also are re

said Sam McCullough,
transportation administrator
for the Georgia Department of
Education.
Georgia consistently has
been a national leader in school
bus safety. Good maintenance
of buses and safety precautions
practiced by drivers resulted in
no fatalities in or around a
Georgia public school bus last
year gue to bus failure or driver
error,
The Georgia Board of
Education requires school bus
drivers to be at least 18 years
of age; some systems have a
minimum age of 21. Com
prehensive pfivsical exams are
required, and retirement is
mandatory at age 65.
