Bidding of Routes. Drivers will have an opportunity to bid on a seniority basis those routes and information current as of the start of the school year. Drivers will be advised of bidding opportunities for those routes that begin prior to the start of the regular school calendar. In the event the driver is not able to attend the bidding session, the driver may submit his/her preference or have a designated representative in his/her place. The designated representative must be a member of the bargaining unit. Bidding will be monitored by the most senior driver and management. Pending the completion of routes, a pre-review may be set up prior to the bidding date. The bid package shall include a description of the route including a prepared set of "lefts and rights." Activities/exceptional students added after the start of the school year will be used to fill routes as determined by the supervisor. Management has a right to assign or delete students or assignments at any time as determined necessary. Whenever possible, routes will be balanced as to be in keeping with the guaranteed seven (7) hour workday.
