Female, 37

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.

Hey do you think I will get written up if I get in the tool box?

Asked by Dawg coollllllll kid about 5 years ago

Probably. Just don't do it because you can lose your riding privilege. Don't say i didn't warn you.

Never heard of it.

Have you ever worked as a bus aide? Dispatcher? Supervisor? Maintenance or something besides a driver?

Bus aide yes. Not very often though as the need for drivers was much greater.

Can the board and transportation have desertion over whether to transport students who don’t live in the district but go to school in the district for one reason or another. I heard word on the street they may start but I don’t know if they can.

Asked by Don about 5 years ago

Yes they can have discretion to provide transportation to out of district kids. In our district if a parent chooses to enroll their child out of district, they are responsible for transporting that child.

Is it legal to have bus schedules on a public forum? My district used to and I know it’s convenient but you can see every bus stop, the estimated time of arrival, and how many get on/off/transfer. On SPED routes it says everyone who rides. Full names

Asked by DJ about 5 years ago

Yes. Many districts do it, however them having children's names listed may be a security issue. I would bring that up to the superintendent.

Is it possible to volunteer as a reserve bus driver?

Asked by Nsnsnsnd almost 5 years ago

Not sure. Can't hurt to ask around.

Yes they luckily took them off and put the bus info into SIS but there is still archives of them. So I think people complained but they are still there. Do you think that should be brought up?

Asked by DJ about 5 years ago

I would notify them of the archives and link them to the archives then they can fix the problem.
