Just O-K is not O-K ... Striving for EXCELLENCE is!!
You are the first person of authority students see every morning

Monitor tire wear and tire pressures
Look and act like a professional
Listen to both sides of an argument

Being SAFE is better than being SORRY

YOUR SAFETY REQUIRES ALWAYS STAYING IN CONTROL
Keep a watch for leaking fluids under the School Bus
No personal items on the rear deck of a pusher type School Bus, because they can become projectiles

NO STANDING NO FIGHTING NO SWEARING NO EATING NO DRINKING On the BUS
Convey to students this famous quote by Jean Nidetch

Neither can afford STUDENT SCHOOL DRIVE SAFETY to have a WEAKEST LINK
Don't let the fuel gauge go below half
Keep the windshield clean on the inside and outside as well and unobstructed
When a student suffers from a nose bleed or illness, have a nurse awaiting your arrival at the school
Have the current routes, stops & times posted in the bus with turn-by-turn instructions for substitute drivers to follow
Encourage students to dream BIG regarding their careers and future
EXPERIENCE magnifies COMPLACENCY regarding SAFETY!
Use your horn sparingly
Pre-Trip the School Bus before EVERY run
Post-Trip the School Bus after EVERY run and check for sleepyheads and forgotten articles and damage
COMMON SENSE is the Foundation of SAFETY
Sharing seats is a requirement
