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.

Have you been doing any kind of work during this COVID-19 deal? If so what have you been doing meals or parking buses so kids can get on WIFI just things I have heard of

Asked by 02938457 about 5 years ago

As of now our district is not using us bus drivers yet. We don't have wifi on our buses though i wish we did.

Is there really anything good about the back of the bus? I mean Rosa Parks did not like it so if she did not like it then it must not be such a magical place after all was it

Asked by Johnny on the sopt over 5 years ago

Not really though kids think they can get away with stuff back there. They really can't.

Quick question have they closed your district for the remainder of the academic year or are you planning on restarting soon?

Asked by John about 5 years ago

Hi what are some things that you think would make school buses more efficient and how do you do your pre trip inspection?

Asked by Merry over 5 years ago

Good question. I would love a way to check brake lights and back up lights without having to have two drivers. Newer buses have an exterior light check button that the driver can press and it flashes all the lights in sequence so you can see that they're active and available. As for other efficiency concerns, that is left up to the individual driver for customization.

Did Mike Parson just cancel schools indefinitely?

Asked by Darlene about 5 years ago

Not sure who he is. I know where I am, we are scheduled to return April 13. That can still extend if the spread of the virus is not stopped or slowed.

Question what do you think the rest of this school year (and possibly next) look like?

Asked by Lola about 5 years ago

Well, many state governors are calling school done for the remainder of the year. Until the stay at home orders are lifted, we are likely to just stay in place until this whole crisis blows over. Rest assured many children are in the same boat so lack of education is not really a concern as much as getting them food and supplies for their families who depend on the schools 9 months out of the year for breakfast and lunch.
