Which item is not typically part of an interior stop check?

• A. All students are seated
• B. Pupils wear seat belts as policy
• C. Windows are closed
• D. Spare tire condition is checked

Answer: (D)

Interior stop checks focus on items inside the bus that affect student safety while passengers are boarding or riding. You verify that every student is seated, that seat belts are worn if policy requires them, and that windows are closed so nothing can distract or injure riders. The spare tire is an exterior/mechanical item, not part of the interior stop check. Checking the spare tire belongs in the pre-trip or exterior vehicle inspection, not while you’re stopped for students.
