Bemidji Pioneer: A 'Bright Light' for student safety: Elementary students given flashing lights to use at bus stops

BEMIDJI—Some Bemidji Area Schools students could be a little more visible, and hopefully a little safer, this year.

Transportation staff at the school district bought a few hundred reflectorized tri-function flashing lights for students who live along Bemidji area's busiest roads and highways to attach to their coat or backpack. The red blinking lights look like the flashers cyclists wear and can help drivers spot students as they wait to get picked up in the early-morning darkness.
