If a student drops an object near the bus during loading or unloading, what are they instructed to do?

AAMVA CDL Manual, Section 10.2.5 – Special Dangers of Loading and Unloading, p. 10-5 (July 2017 revision); 49 CFR §383.123(a)(1)

A dropped backpack or paper might seem trivial, but the manual treats it as a real hazard trigger because of what a child might do next to retrieve it. Training students to leave the item and move to safety first removes the temptation to duck down or double back near the bus, which is when serious injuries happen.
