Extracurricular Driving. 1. For extracurricular driving: athletic events, band trips, field trips, etc., the driver employee shall be paid bus driver classification step 0 per hour for driving and layover hours worked with time calculated to the nearest one- fourth hour. One-fourth hour will be allowed for preparation of the bus and one-fourth hour for cleaning the bus. Buses must be cleaned after extracurricular runs. A minimum of two (2) hours driving and clean up time will be paid per trip.
Extracurricular Driving. Except as noted below, all extracurricular trip driving will be offered to regular route bus drivers on a rotating route number basis among those drivers who sign up for such trips. If no regular route driver is willing or available to drive a trip, the trip may then be offered to regular substitute drivers. A substitute driver may be included in the rotation provided the driver has accepted and performed substitute route driving when offered and has signed up for such trips. Drivers are to report thirty (30) minutes prior to scheduled departure for an extracurricular trip. If the trip is canceled within this thirty (30) minute period the driver will be paid for a minimum of two (2) hours at his/her regular trip rate. Any time the scheduled start of a trip is delayed after the driver has reported in, the driver will be paid for that waiting time at the driving rate. The special activity motor coach buses will have permanently assigned drivers who are recognized as regular District employees and are covered under the provisions of this Agreement. These assigned drivers will not have other assigned duties, including as a route driver, except in cases of emergency as defined by the Transportation Director. In addition to the permanent drivers, there will be a minimum of four (4) route drivers trained and qualified as backups. Route drivers who are assigned as substitutes for the special activity motor coach buses will earn their regular rate of pay for driving. If less than four (4) Route drivers are willing to provide back up, and then the Transportation Director may open the positions up to the qualified, substitute drivers. All applicable Department of Transportation regulations will be complied with regarding extra-curricular driving. When a vacancy occurs for one of these assigned driver positions, it will first be offered to current route drivers. If no current route driver accepts the position, then the position will be posted pursuant to section 6.7 of this agreement.
Extracurricular Driving. All regular employees in the classification shall have the opportunity to accept extracurricular driving assignments on a rotation basis, by classification seniority. At the beginning of each school year, the Transportation Director will establish a seniority list of persons who are currently employed as regular school bus drivers. The seniority list will be based upon the period of employment as a regular school bus driver that is continuous with the current year. The seniority list so established will be posted in the bus garage. A driver may request in writing that he/she not be considered for extra school bus trips for a particular school year. The Director of Transportation shall develop two lists : A weekend and week day list for extracurricular and co-curricular trips. Extra trips or co-curricular trips shall be assigned to drivers by the Director on the basis of a seniority list, with the driver as the top of the list having the first refusal for the trip each school year. The Director will proceed on down the seniority list for the first and each succeeding extra trip or co-curricular trip during the school year as assignments are accepted and/or refused. Extra-curricular trips will be posted one week in advance. Regular route drivers are not permitted to choose a trip that is scheduled during their regular route unless the driver receives written approval by the Transportation Supervisor. When an extra trip interferes with a regularly-scheduled route or when a driver is absent due to sick leave, personal leave, or on another job-related assignment the driver shall be bypassed but the trip will not count as a refusal. If a driver refuses a trip, he/she will be bypassed until his/her turn comes up next again on the list. All drivers shall be paid a rate of $10.50 per hour on field trips, unless such driver is in overtime pay status at which the rate shall be in accordance with the Fair Labor Standard Act. All regular employees in the classification shall have the opportunity to accept extracurricular driving assignments on a rotation basis by seniority provided that acceptance of said trip will not result in the driver accruing more than six (6) hours of overtime in any given pay period. Emergency extracurricular trips not received, posted or returned to the transportation office within 24 hours of the trip's scheduled departure time can be accepted by any driver, by seniority, starting with the next driver from the last emergency trip.
