SUMMARY : Designates April 28, 2009, as School Bus Drivers' Day
in California, in order to draw special public attention to
school bus drivers for their continued and excellent services to
pupils in California. Specifically, this resolution makes the
following legislative findings:
1)Personal time and energy are expended by school bus drivers in
their initial training, maintaining a current license, and
accruing added knowledge of school bus laws through continuing
education classes; and, school bus drivers perform their
services for thousands of accident-free miles, year after
year.
2)School bus drivers often face natural and unexpected hazards
in the performance of their duties; and, these drivers
consistently demonstrate an awareness of, and direct attention
to, the mechanical maintenance of the school bus and safety
conditions of the school bus routes.
3)The safety of our children rests in the hands of trained
school bus drivers each day; and, school bus drivers, through
counseling and disciplinary techniques, are sometimes asked to
assist pupils in appropriate interactive peer and adult
behavior.
4)School bus drivers are recognized annually for their continued
and excellent services to the youth of the state by the People
of California; and, these drivers are deserving of special
