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 do I do if the bus is always later then the posted stop time by five, ten, sometimes fifteen minutes but substitutes come pretty close to the stop time. Would calling the transportation director and asking to have the stop time raised be okay?

Asked by Sydney over 5 years ago

Actually thats a good solution. If your regular driver runs late but the sub runs on time then the transportation needs to be aware so that they can make changes to the route so kids don't miss the bus by mistake.

Getting ready for in less then a month now. What are some tips for riding the bus? I about lost my mind last year, lol.

Remember that kids are people with emotions and worries like adults. Sometimes their shoulders are holding the world and they can't help it.

It also times the bus every minute of the route where it goes and every turn it makes so you could approximately track the bus .

Asked by DJ over 5 years ago

Moat districts have a time schedule for buses listed and yes if there was someone who wanted to harm children this could be a problem. The only major issue i see is where you mentioned the names of kids listed.

Well true most school boards are cheap. But my school board is trying to remodel a 10 year old building. Every building in the district needs to be “re innovated”. I think it may be more of the superintendent though and their kissing ass.

Asked by Kelly over 5 years ago

Sometimes renovating a decent building is worth it, but sometimes your best course of action is to start fresh.

Yea make sure you report it to Jobstr. Their getting past the limits by copy and pasting. Your welcome

Hi, what do you think will happen if they decided to close schools for the rest of the semester? Will we do online, mailing, or just pass us for the next grade (or graduate) Thanks!

Asked by Joe about 5 years ago

That's hard to say and also depends on the individual districts. I'm sure the extenuating circumstances will be taken into account when deciding what to do. The issue is in many rural areas kids do not have access to online like urban areas do and that puts them at a disadvantage.

Thanks again for answering my silly questions. I think they made a law that motor coaches have to go at least ten miles above he speed limit. I never see them pulled over but their always flying. Lol
