Common use of Regular Bus Routes Clause in Contracts

Regular Bus Routes. a. All bus routes shall be posted and selected annually by drivers on the basis of seniority during the bus drivers/bus monitors beginning of the year meeting, subject to the approval of the Director of Maintenance & Transportation. Drivers will maintain those routes during the course of the school year unless it is determined by the Director of Maintenance & Transportation that a situation exists whereby the health and safety of those on the bus may be at risk. Every effort will first be made to remedy the situation unless it is non-remedial. b. When a regular daily run needs to be filled due to short notice of driver/monitor absence the Director of Maintenance & Transportation or Designee will determine who goes on that route for that day. c. All routes will have predetermined run times assigned to them. These run times will be set by the Director of Maintenance & Transportation or Designee prior to the beginning of the year route meeting. If a run exceeds predetermined time, it will be addressed by the driver and Director and will be reexamined. The final determination of run time rests with the Director. d. The Director of Maintenance & Transportation or Designee should be notified at least 60 minutes prior to the start of the driver/monitors run if the driver/monitor will not be in attendance for the run. Allowance shall be made due to unforeseen emergencies, which would not have allowed an hour notification. Failure to communicate will be considered a no call/no show and will result in loss of afternoon run/time as well. Any P.M. no call/no show, will result in driver/monitor losing the following A.M. run/time.
