Bus Run Selection. A. At the beginning of the school year each driver will be assigned a series of runs. High seniority drivers will receive the series with the most hours. Seniority will be on a division basis as defined in seniority lists Article 5.5.2, Section A for all purposes in selection of bus runs.
B. The administration will make all the necessary changes in the runs during the first four (4) weeks of school. At the conclusion of the fourth (4th) week of school all series of runs will be posted along with number of hours needed to drive them. The drivers shall then select a series of runs by seniority.
C. Any further changes in any runs during the rest of the year which involves one-half (1/2) hour or more of time for any series of runs will result in a posting with bidding by seniority. This will also include any changes in a series which eventually (cumulative) adds up to one-half (1/2) hour or more for a series from the original time which was posted at the conclusion of the fourth (4th) week of school.
Bus Run Selection. For bus run selection, which shall occur during the five work days prior to the opening of school, bus drivers shall select runs by seniority. Seniority shall be calculated as follows: 1.0 = 12-month, .8 = 10-month, .5 = hourly. For the purpose of run selection only, bus drivers currently assigned to transportation of special students shall select such bus runs in accordance with seniority within such group. For all other purposes of seniority, pursuant to this article, such bus drivers shall be included in the overall Bus Driver seniority list. Effective March 11, 1993, no other unit members shall be classified as Bus Driver of Special Students. Except as set forth below, in the event any employee so classified transfers to another job classification, such employee shall not have a right to return to the Bus Driver of Special Students classification (although such employee would have the right to return to a bus driver classification to the extent that any other bus driver would). The foregoing, however, shall not diminish the right of a Bus Driver of Special Students to return to that position while serving a probationary period and such probation is terminated by the District. In the event any employee currently classified as Bus Driver of Special Students leaves the current job classification by transfer, resignation, retirement, or termination, such position shall not be filled by any other unit member. The starting times, hours of employment, and assignments of the full-time and hourly bus drivers shall be at the discretion of the Employer, however full-time drivers shall start between 5:30 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Hourly drivers shall start no earlier than 5:30 a.m. Non-scheduled runs shall be filled by full-time drivers. If there are insufficient full-time drivers to fill the non-scheduled runs, hourly drivers shall be used. The District shall have the right to prepare bid packages for full-time bus drivers, which include run assignments and may include building cleaning assignments, and the right to prepare bid packages for hourly drivers, which include run assignments.
Bus Run Selection. The posting and selection of bus runs shall be made at the beginning of the school year, on the Tuesday before Labor Day. From time to time it will be necessary to adjust runs due to student transportation needs after run selection. It is understood that these runs will not be reposted. Openings during the school year will be posted as outlined in Article 10. Drivers will make their selections on a seniority basis. Regularly scheduled runs between the morning and afternoon runs, which are established as a result of unique programs, will be selected by seniority for drivers who do not have a midday run. In June, special education run drivers shall be given the option to drive the same special education run for that summer. In the event the driver shall choose not to drive that special education run, the run shall be posted. Non-special education runs will be posted in June and awarded on a seniority basis. It is understood that special education runs in the summer may be consolidated. Prior to the star of the school year, a driver who presents evidence of run familiarization to the Transportation Supervisor shall be paid for one hour of time per each run detailed.
