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.
Yes. I do. Mostly Friday, Saturday, and Sunday though I will pick up the occasional trip other days.
School boards don't like to spend money if they don't have to. One of the first things to go out of a budget is transportation funds.
You're welcome, generally if it's a bullying issue I tend to take a more proactive approach but have both the victim and the bully sit closer to me so I can hear what is being said. For other complaints, I take on a case by case basis and either try to work a solution or refer them to my supervisor if they are being petty.
Thanks, ill be sure to do that the next time it happens!

Lol I find myself stopping at railroad crossings in my personal vehicle and when I'm out in the grocery store and I see a child acting out I will give them the bus driver stare.
There may be charter trips and those use buses that may be school buses as well?
It is sad and year after year we have more kids get hit by other drivers who don't pay attention.
