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.

What was your first year like?

Asked by You are the right one ?? almost 7 years ago

A lot of learning. I had to think outside the box and then learn on a steep learning curve to manage students.

Can the bus driver be responsible for pressing charges. Lets say there was a assault on the bus. The victim did not wish to press charges and the police where not going to arrest if no one pressed charges. Can the driver press charges?

Asked by James over 6 years ago

If the victim doesnt want charges pressed no. If the victim was also the bus driver then yes.

Can a bus driver with a bus load of kids get off the bus to assist with a motor vehicle collision if they secure the bus, take the keys, and put a responsible and trustworthy older student in charge?

Depending on the situation would be when I'd make that judgement call. Typically its best to not interfere unless life is at stake and you know you can save a life.

After talking to some witnesses & another mom, I feel that my 5yr old is being suspended unfairly. He has been accused of throwing an object, when he simply only dropped it, and for getting up. I was told she writes kids up for talking. What can I do

Asked by Momof2 over 6 years ago

You can ask for the video tape to be pulled off the bus and reviewed by the administrators. Truthfully if he was consistently not staying in his seat and the administration saw that, then they are justified in suspending him. He may also have thrown an object not just dropped it. Point is there should be video of the incident in question. If he was suspended unfairly, the video would show and clear his name.

What were you doing with the water? If it was being thrown or tossed or otherwise not being used appropriately yes, they can throw it away. Stop doing stupid crap.
