Common use of Bus Route Clause in Contracts

Bus Route. Bus Drivers are required to prepare route maps and rider/student lists for each route regularly assigned to that driver. A driver must keep the Director of Operations informed of all routing changes. If a student stop is in question, the driver may request that the Director of Operations ride with the driver to the designated stop to clarify and approve the student pick up and drop off location. When a change is made involving a student, the driver will fill out the proper form and send it to the families involved and a copy will be sent to the office of the Director of Operations. When students move into or out of the District, stops will be added or dropped to accommodate these students. In case of an emergency (a student becoming ill) the driver may request a routing change by using the radio to call the office for permission. The office will determine if a telephone call to the parent/guardian is appropriate at that time. Changes in direction can be made by the bus driver when re-routing is done because a student/family will not have to be picked up or dropped off at their designated bus stop.
