STS Highlights: September 2020
I’ve curated another set of 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 maintain a reasonable distance, wash your hands often, and disinfect surfaces frequently.
All the best,
Patrick

School Transportation In-service Training
School buses are known for the pupil transportation safety record. The FACT that school buses are the safest form of transportation is a direct result of the training school bus drivers receive each year. While the requirements currently vary state-to-state, most school bus drivers are required to take yearly in-service training to remain safe and effective. ONLINE training is a viable option for in-service requirements and remediation training.
School Training Solutions offers a wide selection of in-service topics intended for school bus drivers. Each course is available for enrollment and completion 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
School Training Solutions can provide affordable, online school transportation related in-service training options for your district or department.
