Extra Trip Assignments. 10.1 Extra trip assignments will be distributed and rotated among School Bus Drivers. Extra trip assignments will not be offered to Bus Driver/Assistant Mechanic, Bus Driver/Dispatcher, Dispatcher/School Bus Training Officer and the Bus Driver/Trainer during the workweek. Weekend trips will be rotated amongst all Transportation Department classified employees who possess and maintain a valid bus certificate. Extra trip assignments shall be reviewed and approved by the Director of Transportation and will be distributed in the following manner.
1. Trip requests are date/time stamped as received.
2. Initial trips are distributed to drivers by seniority; in the order the trip requests are originally received.
3. Subsequent trips are then distributed equitably among drivers, based on extra trip hours in the order the trip requests are originally received. There shall be two (2) separate rotation lists for the assignment of these trips. Drivers shall accept or decline an extra trip assignment no later than the end of their regular work-day, on the day following the offer (e.g. A trip offered on Monday shall be accepted or declined by the end of the employee’s work day on Tuesday). The District will make a reasonable effort to post and maintain weekly the current rotation for review in the transportation department break room. The lists shall be titled: *Trips Which Occur During the Week *Trips Which Occur on Weekends Trips may include travel to mountainous and urban areas where specific driving proficiencies have been met. Drivers who have not met these requirements shall not have the option to participate in such trips. Drivers who opt out of the aforementioned trips shall not have hours counted against them on the trip board. Each list shall include separate rotations to ensure an "equitable distribution" of hours for each type of trip. A driver shall have the right to decline such a trip, but this shall count toward the "equitable distribution" for this board in the same manner as if the assignment had been accepted. The employee has the right of refusal without discrimination or discipline. Drivers will not be considered to have declined extra trips for dates on which they have submitted absence request forms prior to being offered the assignment or if the extra trip assignment is offered less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to the trip. Drivers who accept an extra trip assignment and who are absent due to illness the day immediately preceding the schedule...

b. At least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the meeting, the list of runs to be bid at the meeting will be posted.
c. A driver must be in attendance at the meeting to bid on a trip. Exceptions will be made to vote by proxy for drivers absent on the day or unable to attend due to another extra trip obligation. Proxies must be in writing and submitted to the Director of Transportation prior to the meeting and will identify the specific trips the driver wants. A driver may not submit a proxy for another driver.
d. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section F below, extra trips shall be assigned at the meeting on a seniority based rotation. The rotation list shall align bus drivers by seniority. The driver selected to fill an extra trip assignment will be the most seniored driver bidding at the meeting for the extra trip who falls next in line on the rotation list below the last driver who accepted an extra trip. If a driver declines to select a trip when it is their turn in rotation, the driver will not be permitted to select any trips for the balance of that bid meeting. Extra trips left after the bidding may be assigned at the option of the Director of Transportation to either a non-unit member or a regular driver (unless prohibited under F-2 below) and such decision will not be subject to the grievance procedure.
