Special Trip Assignments. 1. A special trip is defined to include the operation of a vehicle for purposes of transporting students in situations outside of the regular daily route to and from school.
Special Trip Assignments a. Special trip assignments are to be assigned on a rotational basis. A driver will not be required at any time to accept a special trip assignment. The driver shall be in paid status from the time they check out the bus until the time they have completed all necessary duties.
Special Trip Assignments. The Employer shall assign special trips, to the extent possible, from among those regularly scheduled qualified transportation employees who signify their interest in writing. Special trip charts shall be maintained and posted by the Employer for the purpose of equalizing the distribution of said assignments. A special trip that is refused by an employee shall be charged as a trip taken on the special trip chart. Such procedure is to be worked out through a committee of Transportation Employees and the Transportation Director.
Special Trip Assignments. Special trip assignments shall be distributed and rotated as equally as possible among bus drivers who express a timely interest in such runs by a date fixed by the District prior to the start of school each academic year.

A meeting of interested drivers and District management personnel shall be held prior to the District's decision on the allocation of activity runs. The District's decision shall be final.

Special Trip Assignments. Special trip assignments shall be distributed and rotated on the basis of seniority and availability as equally as possible among regular and relief drivers at each school location.
Special Trip Assignments. Weekend, evening, holiday, sport, and mountain trips will be assigned in order of seniority to drivers who sign up for them on a rotation basis. Each special trip assignment category will be tracked on its own rotation list. If a special trip becomes available due to the unavailability of the previously assigned driver, such trip will be offered to the driver who is the next in rotation on the special trip rotation list at no loss to their place in rotation and so on until the special trip is taken. If a bus driver is absent (except for pre-approved absences) any portion of the work day prior to a special trip assignment, the special trip will be offered to the driver listed next on the special trip rotation list (as long as they are present at work the day prior to the special trip assignment) at no loss to their place in rotation and so on until the trip is taken. If no regular driver is available, the run shall be offered to a substitute driver. That run shall not be charged against the placement in rotation of the driver who accepts the run during the secondary sign up. A special trip assignment shall include:
Special Trip Assignments. When extra drivers are needed for special trip assignments during the work day, these assignments shall be distributed as equally as possible among all contracted drivers assigned a route. A control list shall be set up with the driver's names listed in order of seniority. Special trips shall be assigned to the first names on the list in order of seniority as the trip becomes available. If the employee accepts or denies the trip, her/his his/her name is rotated to the last place on the list and the next trip is offered to the employee with the next greatest seniority and on down the list in descending order. Refusal in excess of one (1) trip by any member of the bargaining unit shall cause her/his name to be rotated to the bottom of the list. Eligibility for special trip assignments is contingent upon the driver’s qualifications for trips that include city driving, mountain driving, or driving in snow/ice.
