When did it become a common practice for school buses to start picking up kids at their houses instead of at bus stops? We never had the luxury when I was younger, why the change?

Have you been been in a position where when severe weather you had to evacuate into a private house? Better then a ditch but what about safety precautions would be taken? What are all the proceeders you do?

Not into a private house but into a public building due to a tornado yes. I notified my supervisor where we were and that the kids were safe.
