Default Speaking of bus drivers!

Evil had a post the other day about a bus driver, I was just watching the news and a bus driver here got arrested for selling CRACK!! he has been a driver for 6 years!!

Why are these people not screened as well as teachers? Our children are in there hands.

most of them own their own buses and/or are hired thru independant companies so it is hard to monitor them all

they aren't technically school employees- that's why they can strike and they don't have state benefits

WOW! that's something else!! CRACK?!? 8O

Our bus drivers here in ontario are not privately owned. They are run by the school board and there still are problems with the drivers. I don't think that the problem in whole can ever be illiminated. Bad people in all professions.

Some counties in the US still have the school board running their bus systems...while others found it was more economical to contract it out to indipendent companies.

We have a shortage in our county which is why my daughter catches the bus at 6:20 AM for high school and my son doesn't get home until 4:45 PM from middle school. Neither schedule is very good.

As far as the quality of the bus drivers....it's a hit or miss I'm sure. My daughter's driver has had two fender benders this year while the kids were actually on the bus. I dont' think they were her fault though.

Beyond random drug testing ...what can a company really do to regulate their employees? It's a part time job and doesn't pay all that terrific.

Even screening can't always assure you that your not hiring a chester, addict or nutcase.
