Curricular Trips. In assigning drivers to extra-curricular trips starting after 4:30 p.m., a rotation basis shall be used from a list maintained according to seniority in a descending order. Regular contracted drivers shall be given the opportunity according to seniority in a descending order to take the extra-curricular trips scheduled before 4:30 p.m. on days when school is in session or drive their regular contracted routes. If a regular contracted driver elects to take the extra-curricular trip, he/she shall not be paid for any portion of the regular run that must be filled by a substitute driver. Extra-curricular trips may be performed by the extra-curricular activity’s coaches/advisors for travel to and from an extra-curricular event, using the District’s vans, provided the total number of student participants receiving such transportation does not exceed eighteen (18). No more than two (2) vans will be driven per event. A total of two (2) vans per day can be used for an athletic event. In order to stabilize routes at the beginning of the school year and in order for students to become familiar with their regular driver, during the first two weeks of the school year, regular drivers may not drive for extra curricular trips if such trips interfere with their regularly assigned route. Regular drivers new to the District are not eligible to drive extra curricular trips that interfere with their regularly assigned routes for the first two weeks of their employment. The transportation director is authorized to extend this period for an additional week if the driver has not exhibited proficiency on his/her regular route. Any driver whose turn to drive for any extra-curricular trip unable to perform the service for any reason, emergencies excepted, shall forfeit his turn in that rotation. His next eligibility for a trip will be on the next rotation. A driver who has not notified the director of transportation of not being able to take a listed trip within twenty-four (24) hours of posting is considered assigned to that trip. Any driver, once scheduled for an extra trip, who cannot drive for that trip, must make arrangements with the next regular unscheduled driver in the rotation which follows descending order of seniority. The details should be reported to the transportation director at least eight (8) hours prior to the trip departure. Any trip request submitted to the central office less than ten (10) work days from the date of the trip shall be returned to the originator. Exemptions to this paragraph are rescheduled trips. All other trips will be posted by the transportation director at least four (4) calendar days before the trip. Any trip that extends into a regular route time due to overrun or breakdown will have the proper trip time prorated to the trip; however, no payment would be made for the regular route. Exceptions would be if the driver of a trip, due back between 1:45 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., would call bus garage and verify without doubt that the bus involved would return prior to 2:30 p.m. If a substitute is called and no verification is made, the substitute will drive the regular route. The Superintendent or his designee shall have the authority to assign any emergency trip, such as tournaments, shuttles, etc., to any licensed bus driver employed by the school system. This includes all trips twenty-four (24) hours before the trip commences. If no licensed bus driver is available within twenty- four (24) hours of when the trip is scheduled to occur, an emergency trip may be assigned by the Superintendent/designee to a coach/advisor for transportation by District van. If a special trip is canceled after the special trip is started, the driver assigned to a trip shall be paid his/her regular daily rate. Any driver that drives for summer school will be paid his/her regular rate of pay. Not more than twice per school year, a private charter bus may be utilized to provide students with transportation to and from a scheduled event or activity. Notice of a scheduled event/activity for which a private charter bus will be utilized shall be provided by the Superintendent in writing to the Association President at least 14 calendar days in advance of the event/activity. Shuttle Bus Runs: When two back-to-back shuttles are both less than one (1) hour each, then the time they overlap can be deducted.
