Special Needs Routes Sample Clauses
The 'Special Needs Routes' clause defines the procedures and accommodations for transportation services tailored to individuals with specific requirements, such as those with disabilities or medical conditions. This clause typically outlines how requests for special routes are made, the criteria for eligibility, and the responsibilities of both the service provider and the user. By establishing clear guidelines for the creation and management of these routes, the clause ensures that all individuals have equitable access to transportation, addressing the need for inclusivity and compliance with relevant accessibility laws.
Special Needs Routes. 1. The Supervisor of Transportation will confer with each driver/transportation assistant who selects a special needs route. The purpose of the conference will be to define problems, share medical information and discuss difficulties the person may encounter and to ensure that the person fully understands the responsibilities he/she will be assuming.
2. Each driver/transportation assistant who selects a special needs route will be required to participate in student behavior management training in-service program(s).

Special needs routes shall be established and posted by at least the annual in-service meeting and shall be bid as soon as possible, but no later than five (5) days after the in-service meeting. New special needs drivers to fill any vacancy shall be chosen from the special needs sub list, meeting the criteria established by management. Appointed special needs route drivers shall have first preference to bid on special needs routes by seniority in accordance with Section 23.03. Special needs routes will be designed with a goal of reasonably equitable distribution of students. The parties agree that many variables will affect the design of special needs routes, including, but not limited to, individual needs of students, geography, time and transportation equipment. The special needs sub list and the special needs driver appointment seniority list shall be posted. If a driver is offered a special needs route and declines the offer, it will be offered to the next driver on the list and the declining driver will retain his/ her seniority on the list. The declining driver’s actions will be notated on the list. However, if a driver is offered and declines a special needs route more than once, the route will be offered to the next driver on the list and the declining driver’s name will be moved to the bottom of the list. If the District intends to add hours to a special needs route between the start of the school year and the October Board Meeting, the Transportation Coordinator shall discuss the added hours with the affected driver(s) prior to submitting the hours for Board approval. The Transportation Coordinator also will inform the affected driver(s) if hours are added to a driver’s route after the October Board Meeting.

Special Needs Routes. It is agreed that the nature of special needs transportation and the service requirements thereof are enhanced by the maintenance of the same driver, year over year, wherever possible. Drivers on special needs routes will therefore be given the opportunity to return to their previously held route, if this route is continued in the new school year. Where a driver chooses not to select this option or, where new special needs routes are available, the route(s) will fall under the regular sign up procedure.
