I have been a bus driver since late 2006. I know the inside story, the scoop, the down low dirt of what it takes to be a bus driver, how to handle kids and adults, and how to survive on the "streets" so to speak. I used to have a blog, feel free to browse it or ask me a question here.

Am I allowed to catch the elementary bus if I miss the secondary bus? I would be late but would it be okay?

Asked by SI over 5 years ago

That would depend on your district and the bus driver. You could ask but chances are good the driver will say no.

Asked by Tasha about 5 years ago

It sounds like the monitor might not need to be on the bus but you can ask for video to be pulled which has audio recording and it will also show if your child was showing out and the monitor was correcting her by telling her to sit down and behave. We have a lot of kids who try to get us as drivers in trouble for saying things when they are angry they got in trouble in the first place.

I really don't know what to do about the bus monitor we never had any problems with the driver and the school said they cant do anything about it what should i do

Asked by Tasha about 5 years ago

Go to the transportation department. If you cannot get a resolution that way then elevate it to the superintendent.

Oh and by the way there have had two way radio trainings and that has not stuck with them!

Asked by The angry redneck over 5 years ago

Happens here all the time. The radio can be tied up for 10 minutes or longer on non essential crap.

Yea but can it be considered vandalism if you pressed the issue? Or even theft? What about throwing a pack of cigarettes or chew away?

Asked by Samantha over 5 years ago

Still illegal.
