Have you ever been in a bad wreck on the bus before?

Asked by Jon over 5 years ago

No, thank goodness, though I have been involved in a few fender benders. Minor incidents, minimal damage.

Someone's gotta do it. It's either that or the district offers remote learning options for the teenagers and not everyone succeeds that way.

Question, have you ever been in a situation where a blizzard on a long trip has you stranded out of state and they shut the highway down. What did or would you do? Would you drive until they shut it down or pull over when would you feel unsafe to drivers

Asked by Jake From State Farm at 3:00 in the morning over 5 years ago

No i haven't been in that situation but i have been in a situation where immediate weather has forced me to stop driving for a period for the safety of my bus kids. It's always safer to stop and shelter in place or seek out a secure building in those situations.

Is there any districts or bus companies that don’t require and diploma OR equivalent? It seems like most do and I understand wanting people to have it but I figure the more requirements the less people they will have to pull from with shortages

Asked by Calhon over 5 years ago

Equivalent is experience. Most bus driving jobs and jobs today in general require a minimum of a highschool diploma. This should be industry standard across the board.

Why is my district going on a firing spree? I read the board minutes and they are just firing people but here is the thing they are hiring as well

Asked by Jason over 5 years ago

Summer is usually the time for staff turnover. Thats when people retire, find other jobs, transfer from one school to another (middle school to elementary etc) and in the rare case, the district will terminate those who didn't perform to their standards or who left without intentions to return.

Sometimes in other rare instances, a school board might be considering switching contractors. In the case of bus drivers, this happens more often in larger districts where companies like Durham and First Student bid on a contract and most of the time there is informal hiring and firing of employees as they transfer the contract services.
