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 .
