Hello ma’m what do you think about MANDATING (not recommending or under certain conditions) masks in schools where social distancing can’t be bla bla bla. I personally don’t think it’s right but what do you think? Should schools even reopen?

Asked by Molleigh almost 6 years ago

Mandating is fine but the school district needs to acknowledge that enforcement of something like that can disrupt the education process.

Why do bus drivers open the doors at railroads?

Asked by Sherry about 6 years ago

We have to listen for the trains as well as look for them. It's part of our safety procedure. Stop. Look. Listen. We cannot always count on the railroad crossing arms to work properly.

My driver tells us about how he used to be in all these crash demolition derby’s that’s how he learned to drive a bus and he has photos all over the bus. Should I be worried? Uhh there’s some traffic JUMP where at school. Just ram some cars no biggie

Asked by Rylee over 5 years ago

Nah if he shows issues like being unsafe in actual driving then bring it to someone's attention.

Are they doing this in your district too? Could I potentially win a suit? So, if a staff member refuses to force a child to wear a mask etc they get reprimanded and eventually fired if not immediately. I don’t think this is right.

Asked by Wade almost 6 years ago

You don't think its right they fired the staff member? In many states they don't need a reason to fire a person.

Hi I see you have been asked a lot of questions recently but I just have to ask mine sorry. So with these protests going on what do you do if protesters are throwing things on the bus, ripping things off, climbing on it, or even trying to board?

Asked by Jamie about 6 years ago

1. Not even attempt to put myself in harms way.

2. If i happen across a group of angry violent protesters, do not stop, keep going. They either move or get squished.

3. I have no issue with peaceful protests but those are the ones that aren't blocking roads and causing violence and mayhem.
