Common use of Transportation – Summer Bid Meeting and Procedures Clause in Contracts

Transportation – Summer Bid Meeting and Procedures. 1.) At least one (1) week prior to the start of each school year, each driver in the Transportation classification shall be assigned the run or runs he or she had at the end of the previous school year, unless there has been a substantial change in the run. All new runs or open runs shall be posted at this bid meeting, setting forth the route(s) as listed and the appropriate length of time. Bus drivers shall be permitted to select runs on a seniority basis provided, however, the driver is qualified for the run or runs. 2.) Drivers who bid on and are awarded both an AM and a PM route cannot resign from one of those routes unless that resignation occurs because the driver has successfully bid on another AM or PM route or because the employee, after selecting the routes, has bid on and been awarded a conflicting work assignment for the school district. A driver who wishes to resign from an AM or a PM route must do so before May 15 for the next school year. 3.) The regular posting procedure, set forth in ¶ (A) of this Article, shall be used when vacancies or new runs exist during the school year, except in the case of a major shift in organization or assignments. In such cases, procedures such as used at the beginning of a school year shall be followed.
