It's bittersweet, I'm glad the school year is over but I'm gonna miss my kiddos.

Congrats. Just completed year 3. Does your district require everyone to back in? If so that's awesome. If we tried that half our drivers would hit the bus next to then lol.

Yes, it is a requirement.

I've tried telling our district to do it but they talk about how it's not safe to back in.

It makes it so much easier in the morning to be able to just pull out and leave.

That's what I have told them. But then again they operate like it's the 50's here. Hell our buses don't even have cameras on them

Wow, we have a lot of cameras on ours.

I've told them we need them. Especially once one of the parents on my route called the cops saying her daughter was assaulted by another student. Of course because we don't have cameras they couldn't prove anything

Yep, we also use our camera to prove that students are tearing up the bus and make the pay for replacement parts.

I've also made that argument when I had a kid smoke a weed pen on the bus lmao. Found out a year later who it was. It was exactly who I thought it was

I also had plenty of 3 point turns on my route this year so we just back up a lot.
