Ok, note to self, if I'm crossing the street in Bentonville, take an extra pen to stick in the button so I can get a signal light in my favor. But once I've crossed the street, the pen stays in the button causing traffic issues.

She looked away, but within the realm of her job. She wasn't texting or reading the paper, she was attending one of the many students behind her. Unless School bus drivers are equipped with eyes in the back of thier heads, there will always be a risk for such accidents. This tragic accident might have been prevented if the crossing signal had been working properly.
