STS Highlights: June 2024
This edition always feels like the unofficial “vacation” version because… SUMMER BREAK! While it is a coveted time to rest and relax after the school year, it is also a relatively busy time for pupil transportation with industry conferences and, in a lot of cases, annual training. For these reasons, the curated resources are heavy on the training and conference announcements. It’s impossible for me to list them all, so support your State Associations!
Also, remember to allow proper time to rest, relax, and recharge.
The goal with these monthly resources is always to convey a few public service announcements (PSAs) and to help elevate your career, department, or organization. As always, we take pride in helping you meet your training needs and goals.
Rest and recharge,
Patrick
