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.

Asked by Tasha over 6 years ago

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

Are districts ever legally required to close, delay, or dismiss early because of inclement weather? Or is it completely district decision? Why are some districts open come hell or high water and others close for flurries?

Asked by Funny bear over 6 years ago

No not legally required. There are special circumstances where it might happen (like a terrorist attack which may close down major cities etc) but most states leave the decision up to the individual districts and schools to make that call.

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

Is it sad that you will not see some kids again because of the early break VERY EARLY break.

Asked by ************ about 6 years ago

Yes actually. I miss every one of my bus kids. Even the ones who make me want to pull my hair out in frustration because they're the ones that need me the most. I've tried to keep in contact with parents as best I can but there is only so much I am allowed to do.

Hi ???? have you always worked for the same district

Asked by YOUNG MAN over 6 years ago

Yes.

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.

If you could not be a bus driver what would you do?
