Assignment of Field Trips. Field trips will be assigned by the dispatcher using seniority by bus locations, after the scheduling of the forty (40) hour workweek is completed. Field trip work that exceeds the forty (40) hour scheduled workweek will be assigned by seniority.
Assignment of Field Trips. Full time school bus drivers employed by the Board shall have priority in applying for extracurricular and field trip assignments to be made during the drivers’ off-duty hours or when a permanent substitute is available, except when the following result in no cost to the District:
a. An employee at the requesting school volunteers to drive for a field/athletic trip that extends beyond the regular school day; or
b. A non-bus driver employee volunteers to drive during off-duty hours; or

Assignment of Field Trips. The Transportation Supervisor shall maintain three rosters of all regular bus drivers requesting field trips, in order of seniority.
a. One roster for trips held on Monday through Friday shall start from the first day of the school year and carry through to the last day of the school year.
b. A second roster, which continues from year to year, shall be for Saturday, Sunday and holiday trips. This roster will start with the employee next up on the seniority list and when the rotation comes back around to that bus driver, hours will be equalized and the next trip will be given to the bus driver with the least amount of hours. New bus drivers shall be put on this second roster after successful completion of their trial basis period at the highest number of hours. In order to be eligible to be on the second roster, a bus driver must also be on the first roster above.
c. A third roster shall be for field trips, which occur during the summer vacation break, the winter break, and the spring break. Bus drivers wishing to be on this roster must sign up on a sign-up sheet which will be available on the announcement table ten (10) days prior to each of the three (3) breaks.
d. If a bus driver requests in writing to be off one roster, that bus driver will remain off all rosters for the remainder of the semester. All such written requests shall be in effect only for one (1) semester.
e. The Transportation Office will make a good faith attempt to post field trips together with a list of field trip hours every two weeks and supplement as necessary with changes and additions at least twenty-four [24] hours in advance together with an updated roster of field trip hours for all drivers. The field trip selection will be every two weeks at the Support Service Building, unless an alternative place is also posted twenty- four [24] hours in advance. Field trip picks shall be completed in one meeting as follows: picks shall be made for the first week first, then hours will be adjusted among drivers and then field trip picks shall be completed for the second week. Each bus driver shall select a field trip based upon their having the lowest number of charged field trip hours, until all field trips are covered. Bus drivers must either be present or leave a written signed and dated notation of the field trip desired with the Transportation office at least one hour before the field trip selection time. If someone is not present and has not left a written notation, the Transportation O...
Assignment of Field Trips. All field trips shall be assigned on a rotating basis to bus drivers who elect to put their name on the trip board, beginning at the start of the school year with the most senior bus driver and moving through the trip board in seniority order. After the initial assignments at the beginning of the school year, the rotation shall begin wherever it last ended on the trip list, except as otherwise set forth in this Article.
14.1.1 All weekly field trips shall be posted on Monday (or as soon as the trip request is received) for bid on Wednesday by 6:00 AM (No bus driver shall be permitted to drive a field trip that conflicts with his/her regular route time.) All drivers taking field trips can bid on a field trip that does not cause the driver to exceed forty-two (42) hours in any one
(1) work week. If the school district is in fiscal watch or fiscal emergency or the total overtime for drivers and monitors exceeds the cap of six thousand dollars ($6,000) per fiscal year, all overtime in excess of forty (40) hours must be approved in advance by the Superintendent. All other overtime must be approved in advance by the Superintendent or designee except where a field trip is not scheduled to result in overtime hours and unforeseen circumstances cause overtime hours to occur.
14.1.2 The bus driver next in the rotation shall be permitted to select from the trips available. If a bus driver declines all of the available trips when it is his/her turn to select, s/he will not be permitted to select a trip until his/her name comes up again in the rotation.
14.1.3 If there are insufficient volunteers for the trip(s) available, the Employer will attempt to find substitute drivers. If the Employer cannot find a sufficient number of substitute drivers, the Employer will have the right to mandate bus drivers whose names are on the trip board to perform the work. Such mandatory trip(s) will be assigned beginning with the least senior employee on the trip board.
14.1.4 Bus drivers shall have the opportunity to place their names on the trip board or remove their names from the trip board on the first (1st) day of school and on the first (1st) day of school in January each year.
Assignment of Field Trips. 13:05.1 Field trips are defined as any approved transportation activity other than AM/PM, contracted Kindergarten, Pre-school, Career Center, and Special Education routes. Field trips will be posted in the Transportation Department by Trip Board for the week following the field trip meeting.
Assignment of Field Trips. Field trips will be assigned to a driver according to the seniority of those who signed up for the day’s trips on the sign-up sheet beginning with the regular route drivers and then sub drivers. Everyone with hours available will receive a trip before a second trip will be awarded. Field trips are posted Monday morning and are taken down Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Trip assignments are the responsibility of the Director. If a driver does not sign up for any field trips, they forfeit their chance. Each driver can take field trips as long as their weekly hours do not exceed 40 hours per week. Additional hours can be assigned by the Director as needed, but to accommodate extra hours, regular time may have to be scheduled off to keep hours below 40.
Assignment of Field Trips. Regularly scheduled field trips except for agricultural and van field trips shall be assigned on a rotating basis, beginning with the most senior driver, and continuing in order of seniority, to those drivers who have indicated their willingness to accept a
Assignment of Field Trips. Special Education drivers shall be eligible for all daily field trips after all regular education drivers have either accepted or declined.
Assignment of Field Trips. 41 Field trips shall be assigned on a rotating seniority basis by the employer. If a trip that has been 42 assigned to and accepted by a driver from the rotating seniority list is eliminated after being 43 awarded, that driver will be assigned to the next unassigned trip. In the event a trip assigned to a 44 driver from the rotating seniority list is posted on the board and canceled prior to being awarded, 45 that driver will be assigned to the next unassigned trip, provided no driver can accept additional 46 work that would result in exceeding the forty two (42) hour rule, see Section 18.3.10 and 18.3.1.1.
Assignment of Field Trips. Any driver can sign up for field trips, but their bid run is their primary responsibility. When the trip fits between the driver’s a.m. and p.m. runs, on-staff drivers will be given first consideration over driving attendants or sub drivers.
A. If two or more bus drivers sign up for a field trip, the driver with no run that day, or that has a run that can accommodate the hours of the field trip will be assigned the trip. If two or more drivers meet the criteria, the trip will go to the driver with most seniority.
B. The driver of a run that goes down can bump a less senior driver that has been assigned a field trip on their non-scheduled work day (i.e. Batavia run on Monday – Thursday) whether they had signed up for the field trip or not.
C. If a field trip will give an on-staff driver more hours than their own bid run, they have the right over a sub to the extra time. A driving attendant will cover the on-staff driver’s run that day. If no driving attendant is available, a sub driver will cover the run.
D. Field trips cannot be assigned to a driver who would exceed 40 hours in a week, unless there is absolutely no alternative.
