           SUBJECT  :    Schoolbus Drivers Day

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution designates April 27, 2010, as  
          Schoolbus Drivers Day in California, in order to draw  
          special attention to schoolbus drivers for their continued  
          and excellent services to pupils in California.

           ANALYSIS  :    

           Resolution Findings

           1.Annually, on the fourth Tuesday of April, the people of  
            California officially recognize all schoolbus drivers for  
            their continued and excellent services to the youth of  
            the state, and these drivers are deserving of special  
            public recognition with the highest commendations.

          2.The California Association of School Transportation  
            Officials is a professional organization that promotes  
            safe pupil transportation and advocates for continued  
            high standards for California's schoolbus drivers.

          3.The safety of our children rests in the hands of trained  
            schoolbus drivers for up to six or seven hours each  
            school day.  Schoolbus drivers perform their services for  
            thousands and thousands of accident-free miles, year  
            after year.  

          4.Personal time and energy are expended by schoolbus  
            drivers in their initial training, maintaining a current  
            license, perfecting their driving skills, and accruing  
            added knowledge of schoolbus laws through continuing  
            education classes.  Schoolbus drivers consistently  
            demonstrate an awareness to, and direct attention to, the  
            mechanical maintenance of the schoolbus and safety  
            conditions of schoolbus routes.

          5.Schoolbus drivers exhibit patience and kindness towards  
            pupils, parents, and school staff in the performance of  
            their duties.
            Schoolbus drivers, through counseling and disciplinary  
            techniques, are sometimes asked to assist pupils in  
            appropriate interactive peer and adult behavior  .
