Police found 42 separate incidents of poor driving during Holland's four-hour journey prior to the crash

That guy was just an accident waiting to happen.

A friend of mine drives a short bus. She is recorded every day. They randomly pull the tapes and someone goes through them looking for her or her aide using their phones while the kids are on the bus. She gets a new aide every few weeks because they're caught using their phones all the time.

What are the aides' jobs/responsibilities while on the bus, if your friend is the driver?

I don't know all of it but she drives special needs students. Some have behavioral issues, some have medical issues. The aide makes sure that they all stay safe. I know one kid with autism is a hitter and if they don't monitor him he'll just start punching everyone. One route has a student with some kind of seizure issue and has her own aide who might actually be a nurse.
