International CE No Child Left Behind System

The "No Child Left Behind" system is an electronic system to ensure no children get left unattended on a school bus. Failure to deactivate the system results in the bus's horn blowing and all the exterior lights flashing.

Nice Christmas lights! Glad the new bus treats you well!

[@kaitlynkerns6718]

I love the Christmas lights! Looks good.👍🏻

[@BillyShoepackOfficial]

That’s a bus I would go on to be blessed by you

[@TheArchDemon729]

I wonder how many kids have saw that button and pressed it thinking ooh what does this button do

[@literalyammer]

every time the bus stops with the door opens, your child check reactivates

[@thomasperkins7540]

I been enjoying your videos sir

[@daniellibich1376]

As there is some systems on board some of new school buses to force the driver to do a manual check at the end of each run to ensure no child is left on board as failure to deactivate the system blows the horn as all exterior lights start flashing.

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

I love the Christmas lights that you put up in this bus, really nice decoration. In the 2017 international that we got back in November 2016 that child check system is labelled as a reset button on the back of my bus, and when my driver shuts off the bus the dashboard keeps beeping instead of what you hear on your bus and when she presses the button it makes A little bit of a high-pitched beep when you hold in the button and then the lights indicate that it has been disabled.

Poiice officer's

[@212Elevators]

That button is a substitute for the emergency door because pressing the button sets that alarm off.

[@tkefan29]

Lol wasn't expecting to see you here Jordan!

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

@@tkefan29 see you here either LOL! Yeah I've been interested in school buses ever since my sister was on the bus before I was in school!

[@JordanLoweElevaToursCanada]

@@212Elevators I never knew that thanks for the heads up

[@mindymalcom5161]

I ride a 2011 IC CE maxxforce DT. And instead of just int lights coming on, the dash beeps until you hit the reset button.

[@thomasperkins7540]

Thats nice

[@Miner3751]

I really love the blue floor and seats in this bus

[@yellowbusguy]

Remember those ugly tan and brown interiors?

[@Miner3751]

Yeah. I’m glad they don’t use them anymore

[@LukiRudaka]

@@yellowbusguy Trans-North Okaloosa doesnt have them. Well, not on the MBs.. Blue and black. Plastics on the busses are quite yellowed though, especially 04-2MB's.

[@LukiRudaka]

oh and they dont have No Child Left Behind either.

[@justenlunger9186]

nice lights

[@escrana7687]

What kind of radio is that?

[@trappin712]

deeez nuts bus lol

[@carwashslayer4235]

The newer System comes with a speaker and Theftmate so it tells you that it works and then the Speaker will say "Please Conduct Your Child Search Now" You walk back to the Button and press the button and it will say "Child Checkmate is Now Deactivated" Theftmate is a Motion Sensor and if for some reason the Child Checkmate is off but something moves around inside the bus it will set off the Motion Sensor which will also set off the horn after a certain amount of seconds which someone will have to do a Child Search, But If you Don't want to Lose Drivers I would seriously Consider having Theftmate and The Speaker Installed on your buses trust me It will help

[@yellowbusguy]

My view is, you can only idiot proof so much. I worked for many years without a electronic nanny telling me how to do my job. These devices make people lazy and complacent. They will walk back and push the button and nothing else. You have to look, and look carefully. A friend found a boy under a seat after walking the bus TWICE and only because she saw a hand.

[@carwashslayer4235]

Oh really why can't people just check? If you don't check in the first place then whats the point of these devices?

[@212Elevators]

I have a question yellowbusguy: What state is this bus in? Child Checkmate Systems Inc. reports that there are different requirements to the system in different states.

[@yellowbusguy]

We are in Jefferson county Kentucky.

[@212Elevators]

@@yellowbusguy Okay. Child Checkmate's site says the system requirements are the following: - 60 Seconds to perform Child Check - Deactivation in Off - Dome light comes on during deactivation - Dome lights flash x2 when deactivated - Dome light stays on for 60 seconds after deactivation -Door sound alarm if opened with key off. (Latched alarm) I don't know what it means by "latched". Do the dome lights flash while the horn goes off though?

[@yellowbusguy]

@@212Elevators Yes, the exterior lights flash and the dome lights. In addition you get a warning beep about 30 seconds before the alarm sounds. I usually have time to work my way back closing windows to get to the deactivation button. The system arms after driving for 10 minutes, even if you haven't used the warning lights.

[@212Elevators]

@@yellowbusguy Actually, it may also have an accessory feature. Usually, you turn on the reds and then shift to accessory. After 4 minutes, you have to cycle the key off and back to accessory. Failure to do so results in the horn.

[@212Elevators]

@@yellowbusguyI'm curious to see the alarm going off on video though.

[@DONYRCN26]

I'm having some issues with the school can drive, equipped with the same system. The way I've been taught to disable it is by opening the ignition, getting up from my seat, walk to the back and press and hold that button for about 10 seconds and then shut off the bus. I'm not sure I'm doing it right cause most of the time the bus will start right away, but some times the system won't allow ignition no matter what I do. I'd really appreciate any insight and input on how to do this properly, thanks for the video

[@yellowbusguy]

All our buses work this way: Turn off the bus and leave ignition switch off. Go back within a minute or so then push the button till the inside light blink. Thats it.

[@212Elevators]

@@yellowbusguy But press it again and it enters Charter Mode, bypassing the alarm for 3 hours.

[@KVC90]

Nice lights! Where did you find those?

[@yellowbusguy]

Dollar General for 5 dollars.

[@KVC90]

yellowbusguy Great I'll have to stop by and see if I can find me some too! Thank you! Drive safely 😃

[@elijahgallegos7351]

My buses have the reset button on it but the head light blink

[@coolbus374]

I think our 2011 IC’s (6) buses and our 2012 IC’s (2) buses only have the door reset. Not sure

[@oliverfroelich6235]

2008 c2 MBE900 I’m having trouble with start, got crank no start sounds like not getting fuel is there fuel pump reset?

[@yellowbusguy]

I'm not a diesel mechanic, can't help you there.

[@hoofaa17]

kinda sounds like air in the lines, try a little ether

[@212Elevators]

Call me crazy if you want, but could you demonstrate what happens if you don't deactivate the system? I heard that when this happens, the beep sounds after 10 seconds as a second warning, then the alarm goes off. Could you demonstrate that?

[@tkefan29]

I would like to see that too, but I doubt he'd be able to do it without causing a scene at work.

[@gantzuka]

The alarm system goes off and the lights cycle on and off. The system can malfunction even when you follow the proper step to deactivate it. One reason I hate it.

[@benwest6886]

I got a 2009 international IC CE you have to go to the back and open the door and shut it if you don't the backup beeper will go off I've had it happen

[@gantzuka]

It's a lot better than this then. I've worked that system and had easier time with that than this

[@gianni1940]

Why does this have to be applied after arriving at school? My bus driver that I had for summer school this year had the exact same system with all the components being the exact same.

[@yellowbusguy]

The system arms itself after driving for ten minutes and it doesn't matter if you've used the stop arm or not.

[@gianni1940]

yellowbusguy it makes sense but if the system isnt functioning right and the alarm goes off for no reason, is that a reason to get fired?

[@yellowbusguy]

@@gianni1940 No one gets fired for a broken bus.

[@gianni1940]

yellowbusguy what happens if you do not press the button after you are done using it, even if there isnt no child sleeping on it, for instance if there is no child on the bus after you finish driving the route?

[@yellowbusguy]

@@gianni1940 The whole point is to be sure you don't have any sleepers. By law, you must walk your bus before leaving it. The alarm is just a tool to make sure drivers have to walk the length of the bus to deactivate it. If you don't press the button, all the lights flash and the horn begins blowing.

[@crunchystrat2324]

Most drivers I met just have the kids in the back row hit the alarm.

[@vincentwendt720]

Why is there no driver dome light? This is the first bus I have ever seen that does not have a light for the driver.

[@yellowbusguy]

And I've never seen a dome light just for the driver.

[@jackzalewski2550]

Can You Do 2004 Ford E350 School Bus With Power Door With Wheelchair Lift With 17 Passenger With Child Check Alarm.

[@yellowbusguy]

Our district doesn't have those. I'm retired now anyway.

[@firelitelight]

Does it lock the door so the driver is forced to do that? 🙃

[@ViolaS471]

No, you're free to leave, but the School Bus will embarrass you in front of everyone for not getting up to check.

[@demarcianohudley9354]

This is not the no child left behind this is child check mate 😮

[@109number9]

What happens if you don't press the button?

[@yellowbusguy]

The bus's horn begins to sound and all the lights flash on and off. You have about one minute to push it after you shut down the engine.

[@nineang9999]

Kewl

[@Spectacular66]

That's crazy. Our vans and buses give us 8/10 seconds to hit our buttons after shutting the engine off

[@gianni1940]

Spectacular66 that is if you open the door because i had my bus driver demo it for us like what happens if you were to open the door without doing the child check. its insane!

[@212Elevators]

@@yellowbusguy Can you show us that?

[@yyoumanss2115]

Ahh yeah our bus driver made us kids press it

[@toddmateo9130]

same here

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

Once our bus horn would not stop beeping and bus broke down

[@AlexGonzalez-lq9lu]

walk the bus and check your bus 🚚🚃🚸⚠️🚫

[@TheArchDemon729]

I remember when the interiors of all new Kentucky buses were blue why don't they like that anymore
