Bus Driver – General Clause Samples

Bus Driver – General. 1. Regular Run Definition – “A Regular Run” (See Appendix A) shall consist of one route for picking up of students in the morning and one route for returning them home in the afternoon for the purpose of attending school. A regular run will be considered as two and one-half (2 ½) hours per day and the Career Center run will be considered as 4.25 hours per day. 2. Bus Drivers shall continue to be assigned to their current runs, except in emergency situations or when mitigating circumstances necessitate that in the best interests of the District a change be made. 3. Buses will be assigned to bus runs by the bus supervisor, on the basis of miles run per day and the amount of mileage on the bus. Buses assigned to extra runs shall be assigned according to the mileage of the run (i.e., newer buses to longer runs). 4. Regular Runs that exceed 2 ½ hours per day (75 minutes per morning or afternoon run) shall be compensated as follows: a. Average regular run times shall be determined by the transportation supervisor based on morning and afternoon driving time and including 15 minutes per day for pre-trip, fueling and misc. cleaning. b. The total number of minutes beyond the regular run shall be calculated for the entire year. c. Using the hourly rate of the driver the excess minutes shall be paid in a lump sum at the end of the year providing said driver has driven that route for the entire school year. Example of calculation: Morning run + Afternoon run + 15 minutes = actual total run time If actual total run time is > (more than) 150 minutes per day, then excess minutes per day will be compensated as per paragraph above. 5. Upon request of a driver, the Board of Education shall, on a case by case basis, review the possibility of providing an aide for reasons of protecting and safety of drivers and students.
