Bus Trips. Regular bus drivers who desire extra trips shall notify their immediate supervisor who will place their names on a roster based on seniority. Such roster will include (in order), the names of regularly employed bus drivers, substitute bus drivers and members of another bargaining unit within the school district. If a bus driver is next in line for an extra trip and refuses the offer, the opportunity will be given to the next name on the list. If the extra trip conflicts with the driver’s regularly scheduled route, it shall be the driver’s choice as to whether or not he/she will take the extra trip in lieu of the regularly scheduled route and if the District determines a suitable replacement is available. The driver shall be compensated for the route or the trip driven.
Bus Trips. 1. Trip Rate for Bus Drivers: Drivers taking extracurricular activity trips shall be paid at a rate $.40 per hour higher than their regular rate for all trip hours except layover and off-duty time. If overtime is accrued based on trip hours, the employee shall earn overtime at the trip rate. Trips (not routes) will be paid at a minimum of 2 hours plus 30 minutes for preparation time per day at the driver's regular rate.
Bus Trips. Trips on weekends beyond the normal work week will be paid time and one-half. Necessary expenses for meals and lodging on overnight trips will be reimbursed. Bus driving at night, together with all extra bus trips may or may not be offered to the full-time bus drivers and shall, if offered, be distributed on a seniority rotating basis as equitable as practicable.
Bus Trips a) For District-sponsored extra-curricular bus trips, a regular driver will be called. The regular bus driver pay scale will be used. Standby time will be paid at Step 1 of the driver’s regular rate of pay. In the event a driver works over 10 (ten) in a regular work day, they will be compensated at 150% of their regular wage for any time worked over 10 (ten) hours in that day. Under the authority of ORS 653.269, overtime pay will not be paid for overnight trips. However, if a driver’s total weekly hours exceed the 40-hour test for overtime, all hours over 40 will be paid at the overtime rate as established by Federal Standards. Lodging and meals for bus drivers will be paid in advance, when possible, by the District. In the event a bus driver must arrange for lodging, a receipt for such lodging will be provided to the Transportation Supervisor for reimbursement. Costs in excess of those listed below must be justified to the District before reimbursement may be made.
Bus Trips. All bus trips will be on full rotation regardless of the employer. If there is more than one trip in a day, the eligible driver is the next person in rotation. The eligible driver has first choice. Once trips are assigned and a driver declines an assigned trip for any reason, that driver loses their next turn in the rotation. The declined trip jumps to the next eligible driver without an assigned trip. All trips shall normally be posted three (3) working days in advance when possible. All drivers shall sign their names for the special trips before the trip date shown on the posting. If a driver does not sign the posting, the trip is offered to the next driver who did sign and the former driver is skipped until their name comes around again. Any driver may sign and refuse a trip, but after five (5) refusals their name will be removed from the list for the remainder of the year. All trips that are four (4) hours or less. Trips that occur during regular contracted route times, (am, noon, pm) that are four (4) hours or less, may not be taken by a driver if it interferes with the driver’s contracted route time. No bumping will be allowed for any trips. A bus driver shall not receive more than one trip assignment on any given day unless no other drivers have made bids for trips on that day or deemed by the supervisor to be an emergency. If the extra trip and daily driving time exceeds ten (10) hours driving, that driver must give up their regular route time. A driver with an assigned trip may trade with another driver with an assigned trip. There must be a mutual agreement between the two drivers trading. The supervisor must be notified. The rotation order will remain based on original assignments. Once a trip has been traded, it remains your trip even in the event of cancellation. No trips may be taken the first week school is in session that interferes with contracted route time. All school buses transporting students shall be driven by a bus driver except for physical education classes and practice athletic events.
Bus Trips. Employees who are specially assigned as one‐on‐one aides to a student who requires the employee to ride with the student on the school bus for pickup and delivery shall be paid actual time worked (at the appropriate overtime rate) for work that exceeds 40 hours per week.

Bus drivers’ absences are high, and coverage by mechanics is an essential function of their classification.
