A Strong Stance on Driver Education
When budget cuts are necessary, procedures are analyzed, compromises are negotiated, and changes are made. Money savings becomes a focus, but it should never be the only focus. Stand strong on your commitment to consume solid and effective training.
We continue to facilitate quality education by disseminating knowledge and providing assistance to those responsible for safe pupil transportation. We have taken, and will continue to take, a strong stance on school bus driver education and the prevention of accident and injury.

STS Highlights: October 2020
We have officially moved into the Fall Season. Temperatures are getting cooler. Leaves are changing color. COVID-19 numbers are lessening in a lot of communities. In many cases, schools are reconvening and dealing with many unique issues directly related to the pandemic. I’ve curated resources that I think will help navigate the COVID-19 Pandemic. Use them as you see fit. As things begin to get back to normal, remain cautious and CONTINUE to gather information from reputable sources, maintain a reasonable distance, wash your hands often, and disinfect surfaces frequently.
Stay healthy,
Patrick
