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.
Summer school, yes. Charter, no. Though we have been asked by people outside the schools to provide a bus occasionally for local in town functions.
There may be charter trips and those use buses that may be school buses as well?
I'm not really sure to be honest. That would be a question for a mechanic.
Yes. I do. Mostly Friday, Saturday, and Sunday though I will pick up the occasional trip other days.

What one?
Probably pouring down rain where I could not see a few feet in front of me and I had to stop due to a tornado warning.
I've had a parent step up on my bus and shout in my face before. Generally once they say what they want to say it's over. Occasionally they will get so riled up that they will ignore bus driver requests to exit the bus and we have to call the police. The police can then arrest them for trespassing.
