Overtime for Bus Drivers. Bus drivers on field trips after twelve (12) hours from their starting time shall be deemed to be called back in accordance with Article 19.02.
Overtime for Bus Drivers. The following procedure will apply to driving assignments on overtime for Full-Time and Hourly Bus Drivers and Bus Drivers of Special Students. The school year beginning in September will be divided into three overtime periods. First period, September, October, November; second period, December, January, February; third period, March, April, May and June. Such periods may be altered by mutual consent of the parties in order to best effectuate the purpose and intent of this clause. One week prior to the beginning of each period, drivers will make their interest in working overtime known by signing a form mutually agreed upon by the Union and the District for the purpose of establishing an overtime list.

The overtime for drivers responsible for run assignments shall not be considered in the equalization of overtime. All overtime hours of any kind worked by Bus Drivers and Bus Drivers of Special Students will be used in the periodic equalization. All overtime assignments for Bus Drivers will be made on a seniority basis. The amount of overtime and the number of vehicles to be used in an overtime situation shall be the prerogative of the District. The Union and the District will meet during the second week of each period to resolve the equalization of overtime for the preceding period. Compensatory time shall not be given in lieu of overtime hours worked. A new run will be considered to have commenced each time a driver departs from the school with a different group of students. If regularly scheduled runs are established after annual se...
