When a driver provides training to other drivers, the time required to provide the training shall be counted toward the forty (40) hour limit per week. If bidding on two trips within the same day, the trips must have a 2-hour separation between estimated return time on the first trip and estimated leave time on the second trip. Exceptions may be made by the Administration when the trip is shuttling classes to an event. For situations in which the Administration has decided to award overtime, the Transportation Supervisor will create a list of drivers interested in working overtime and he/she will distribute the available overtime on a rotating basis, as referenced in Section 13.05. All drivers will have the opportunity to inform the Transportation Supervisor of their intent to be included on the list. A driver may ask to be included on the list or removed from the list at any point during the year. The list to be used for the rotating basis will be distributed to drivers by the Transportation Supervisor on the first student day of school each year and then upon any change that occurs throughout the year. Situations that are described in Section 13.04 H are exempt from the rotating basis described above. D.

When an extra trip/field trip is received by the Transportation Supervisor less than one (1) hour before the departure time, the Transportation Supervisor may use his/her discretion in making the assignment. D. All trips less than one (1) hour will go to the driver who can take it. This trip is not part of the rotation and is assigned at the discretion of the Transportation Supervisor. E.

When any extra trip conflicts with a driver’s regular A.M., Midday or P.M. contracted assignment, the driver shall take his/her contracted run unless approved by the Transportation Supervisor to have a sub driver take the regular contracted run. Similarly, if an extra Day Trip conflicts with a driver’s other regularly assigned job in the District (e.g., work in the cafeteria), the driver must complete his/her regularly assigned job unless the Transportation Supervisor and the driver’s immediate supervisor in the other regularly assigned job mutually agree to release the driver from his/her other regularly assigned job. If a driver cannot get approval from his/her immediate supervisor in the other regularly assigned job, the driver may trade his/her trip to another driver if both agree. However, the trip may only be traded with another Day Trip.

Extra Trips. 5.3.1 Whenever administratively practicable, extra trips will be assigned to drivers in a manner to achieve equitable distribution of extra trip time. 5.3.2 An extra-trip-time-account ranking will be the basis for offering a driver an extra trip assignment. However, the Transportation Director, or designee, may, in the best interest of the District, or in case of emergency, make a variation in the assignment of extra trips. “Best interest of the District” includes, but is not limited to, safety of students, unique or unusual requirement for driver knowledge or skill. 5.3.2.1 An extra trip account will be opened for each driver at the beginning of each school year or upon employment, if hired after the school year begins.

Drivers credited with the most extra duty hours are placed at the bottom of the eligibility list, and drivers with the least such hours are placed at the top of the list. 5.3.2.4 Drivers log hours in their extra trip account on the basis of the number of hours of actual extra trip time worked or of the number of hours equal to a trip “passed.” (A trip is “passed” whenever a driver does not accept the offer of an extra trip and is not eligible for a “hold.” Drivers are eligible for a “hold” whenever they are disabled by a verifiable illness, are eligible for military leave pursuant to Article VII, Section 6 of this Agreement, or are unavailable for a trip which is offered less than twenty-four hours before the trip’s scheduled departure time.) 5.4.1 Whenever administratively practicable, special trips will be assigned to evenly distribute the number of trips (not hours) among all the drivers in the department. 5.4.2 Special trips will be assigned by the Transportation Director, or designee, based on the following; 5.4.2.1 Safety factors requiring special experience or specialized knowledge and skills. 5.4.2.2 Driver’s ability to handle the necessary equipment.
