Special Runs. On special runs, that is, runs not regularly or normally recurring, the Employer may assign such runs to available full-time or part-time employees. If any insufficient number of employees are available in the above category, employees may be called to work on their scheduled day off.
Special Runs. Drivers for special runs shall be notified twenty-four (24) hours in advance whenever possible. Extra runs that are less than two (2) hours and start or end within one half (1/2) hour of your regular route will be paid as a continuation of your regular route.
Special Runs. Drivers will be selected on a rotation basis. Regular bus drivers will be given first refusal rights on rotation basis provided they sign up for special trips on the sign up list. A job offered and refused is same as job accepted and employee moves to bottom of rotation list. If two trips are planned on same day, most seniored employee up for rotation may submit first. When no driver signs up for the special run and the District determines that there is a need to have a bus driven for the special run, the employees with the least seniority may be required to drive. However, if the driver with the least seniority is not available, or is driving on another run, or is on an approved leave, or cannot be contacted, or for other acceptable reasons is not available to drive, the next less senior driver shall be required to drive the special run, provided, however, the Association President will be notified and notification will be posted in the bus facility.

Special Runs. Special runs will be filled first by employees in the driver's classification who sign a quarterly posting. Assignments shall be filled, initially using seniority, and thereafter by rotating available special runs. Exceptions would be allowed if a group requested a particular driver or if the request creating the special run was received by the Employer after the schedule for that week had been posted. A special run is defined as an event lasting six (6) or more hours, Monday through Friday, and of any duration on Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday. Any employee not available or who refuses a special run when scheduled will not be offered another special run until the normal rotation gets back to them.
