For routes whose sole destination is outside of the District (i.e., Champion, Middlefield, etc.) the route will operate on the destination District’s calendar, including breaks and non-school days, with the Driver who normally runs the route. If this route requires less than the minimum number of yearly contractual workdays, the following will apply:
a) The employee will report to the Transportation Supervisor on the first day or days on the AACS school calendar that the driver is not scheduled to work their regular run to determine if his/her services are needed.
b) If his/her services are needed, the employee will be paid the greater of:
1) the hours the employee actually worked; or, 2) the number of hours the employee usually works. If the employee’s services are not needed, he/she will be paid their contractual number of hours. This shall continue until the driver has been paid for the minimum number of working days as required by this contract. If the route calls for more working days than the contractual amount, the driver shall work those days and be paid for all days worked. Should AACS declare a calamity day, the driver shall not transport any student(s) that day and will be paid in accordance with the applicable calamity day provisions of this Agreement.
