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.

Do some districts allow kids from out of town to ride the bus? Say some districts kids parents work in other buildings but go to the same school I know most don’t allow that their responsible but is there some districts that do? Or for other reasons

Asked by 11 almost 5 years ago

Generally teachers kids fall under a different category of kids and at least in my district they allow them to transport between buildings.

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 almost 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.

Do you read Schoolbuseet?

Asked by Gregg about 5 years ago

Im assuming you meant school bus fleet. Ive heard of it but not read many articles on it.

Hey why are some districts super strict on their drivers and then others let them get away with pretty much anything as long as their not putting their hands on kids or DWI or something crazy?

Asked by I was wrong once almost 5 years ago

It depends on the district and the company. Sometimes, districts have to consider how they would look to the general public if their personnel did certain things so they put policies in place to ensure that their people follow them. That's not to say that people don't accidentally mess up now and again.

Do you think City Buses will stop running until this whole Corona Virus thing blows over?

Asked by SCARED almost 5 years ago

That is a possibility if we reach similar crisis levels as seen in wuhan and in Italy. Just stay calm, practice social distancing, become a housecat and demand a sunny spot at the window.

Question what do you think the rest of this school year (and possibly next) look like?

Asked by Lola almost 5 years ago

Well, many state governors are calling school done for the remainder of the year. Until the stay at home orders are lifted, we are likely to just stay in place until this whole crisis blows over. Rest assured many children are in the same boat so lack of education is not really a concern as much as getting them food and supplies for their families who depend on the schools 9 months out of the year for breakfast and lunch.
