Hey, how are you able to do this? I mean when your off the clock don’t you just not want to focus on work or do you just answer questions before and after your job while your there? For real

Asked by Donn about 7 years ago

Some people don't know the inside scoop on what this job really is about. It takes just a few minutes to answer questions and generally people don't mind hearing answers.

Honestly I think its better then a driver who sits there and does nothing and lets people act how they want even if it makes someone unsafe or uncomfortable.

Asked by John about 7 years ago

Very true. Having some form of discipline is better than nothing.

What should I do if the bus is coming 20 minutes before the scheduled stop time?

Asked by JC over 7 years ago

Get on the bus or go without a ride to school. Then set your alarm for the new time because it's likely the driver was thrust into doing a double, triple, quadruple run just to get kids to school. Just get on the bus, bring the driver a coffee with creamer and sugar on the side and the driver will be grateful.

Can school bus driver stop the bus on the side of the road for 10 minutes or more to take a break? This is around 7:00am

Asked by Stephanie over 7 years ago

Yes. It also depends on whether they have students on the bus too. They may be trying to get their students under control too and one of the easiest ways to do that is to simply pull the bus over and wait. If the driver is at a school or near a school they may be killing time before drop off is allowed.

Does it bother you when people use the R-word?

The school officials evidently think that students can rule our lives. So if district office and the school board does not do anything (I think they will) do you think it is possible to take the matter up with the state? I am not in a union but can

Asked by Dale almost 7 years ago

State will refer you back down to local as its simply political. How they choose to spend their money is up to them.

What do you think of strobe lights? Well I guess everyone does not love those clear and amber flashing lights. Some say that aircraft cant use them during inclement weather becuase it makes visibility worse and that is when buses use them.

Asked by Dave about 7 years ago

We use them for visibility reasons. I have no issue with them.
