Route Assignments. Route assignments shall be assigned, according to established past practice, by seniority requests. Final assignments shall be made no later than three (3) school days after the beginning of the school year or three (3) school days after a regular run has opened during the school year; in both cases the final assignments will be made no later than ten (10) days if any of the remaining drivers are sick, on vacation, or on an excused absence. Should a disagreement occur, the grievance procedure may be used.
Route Assignments. Management retains the right to assign employees to routes which become permanently or temporarily vacant or to fill positions based on staffing needs. However, such assignment of routes shall not be made arbitrarily, or for reasons unrelated to merit. Rather, Management agrees to consider a number of factors in assigning routes, including but not limited to, seniority in classification, performance evaluations, attendance, vehicular accidents, and knowledge of the various routes.
Route Assignments. 1. Drivers will maintain the same route at the beginning of the school year that they had at the end of the prior year. Drivers shall maintain their regular hours as of the end of the prior year until their new route assignment is assumed. Drivers shall generally be allowed to maintain the same bus assignment as they had at the end of the prior year until the new route assignment is assumed. Vacant routes will be filled until the bid process is completed by substitute drivers or new employees. The routes as defined in Appendix D, will be revised by the Transportation Director and driver designee(s) appointed by the Director. Cost effectiveness, cost efficiency, geographic considerations, run/route/shuttle considerations, and customer service shall serve as some of the cornerstone consideration in establishing runs and routes. All regularly scheduled routes in operation including estimated times, mileage, and the thirty (30) minutes preparation time, shall be posted for selection not later than the Friday preceding the route selection meeting. Extra pay shuttles and mid‐day runs will be bid separately. The most senior employee shall have first choice of a route assignment. Selection shall continue in order of the next most senior employee until all regularly scheduled route assignments and mid‐day runs have been assigned. In limited circumstances (includes but is not limited to special educations students, efficiency type of vehicle, etc.) a shuttle may be assigned by the Director. The time spent at route selection meetings is voluntary and as such will not be compensated. A bid meeting will be conducted within four (4) work days of the end of the first twenty
Route Assignments. 1. Routes shall be bid annually in accordance with District seniority. Routes shall be re-bid by seniority between the 2nd and 4th week of the school year.
Route Assignments. A driver or monitor will not be removed from their assigned route for missing the first day of school because of: • the death of an immediate family member • the death of a close relative; • the death of a member of his/her own household. • Emergency hospital admission of an employee on the first day of school Pre-planned elective surgeries would not qualify as emergency hospital admission.
Route Assignments. It is recognized that routes may change over summer due to student transfers and program changes. At the beginning of each school year, all drivers and attendants will retain the same route, or a route with similar hours and similar destinations/pick-ups, to the one they held the previous school year if available. The Director will allow new drivers, and drivers and attendants whose routes have been eliminated or reduced (see 15.5.2), to select routes based on their hire date seniority. All route assignments will be held until the annual bidding process is completed. Should a route become vacant during the school year, it will be posted for bid, or redistributed to other drivers.
Route Assignments. Route assignments will be made on the basis of bid as provided in Article 5.4 of this agreement. Once assigned, drivers will maintain their routes until re-bid. All routes are subject to adjustment in the interest of economy and efficiency but will not be re-bid unless such adjustment results in increased driving time of more than fifteen (15) minutes. Extra runs will be added to and become part of a permanent bus route if the run is scheduled to last for the remainder of the school year. Extra runs that are not intended to last for the entire school year or that do not take place on four or more days of the work week will be treated as extra time and paid on a timesheet basis. Preschool routes are considered separate bus routes and will be posted as separate routes.
Route Assignments. The Transportation Manager will open routes for bidding once per year between August 1 and October 30 after information is received from Student Services. Drivers may submit a request for specific routes. The supervisor will consider seniority, experience, skill, cost and the welfare of the children in making the assignment of routes.
Route Assignments. Designated weekly routes will be assigned to Employees with the most seniority as Drivers through consensus between Employees. If no consensus is reached, a sign-up for each route will take place and routes will be assigned by Driver seniority. Every six months, each Employee will be rotated to a new route unless through consensus, the Employees agree to allow individuals to keep the same route. If no consensus is reached, Employees must rotate to a different route but will again be able to sign-up with first choice of his/her new route, assigned by Driver seniority. Employees with the least seniority in the Driver classification that are not eligible to sign-up for a route assignment will be designated floaters and work as substitute Drivers as needed due to absences or other duties as assigned. The goal of route assignments is to provide a higher level of customer service through consistent route Management by the Employees. The Employees may elect by consensus or majority vote to extend a rotation period. Route and truck assignments may be changed temporarily to conduct route audits or to ensure optimal safety by moving a more experienced Driver to a more difficult driving route when less experienced substitute Employees are working.
Route Assignments. 17.4.1 The District will post notices of regular route vacancies. Notices will include route description, approximate time required to complete the route and the deadline for submitting a request for assignment to the route.
