[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools now have to check the bus drivers license upon their arrival to see if the credentials are valid or not. [/quote]

I would think that this could be something approved through DDOT, like a CDL with a School Bus transport endorsement.

This is so sad, but fortunately no one was hurt.

I think this may usher in a much needed check and balance in this industry. [/quote]

That's true.

I am not certain how equipped schools are to manage credentials from bus drivers. Seems like there should be a more organized way of analyzing this. [/quote]

How is an individual school supposed to do this?[/quote]

Check with drivers the day of the trip and ask to see drivers licenses, I'm assuming. Not unless schools create their own electronic system of driver records for field trips.[/quote]

So let’s make the principals or teachers the people with primary liability?  Great.[/quote]

This is messed up. No way staff should be the people responsible for this.[/quote]

I hope this is at least coupled with some responsibility on the part of the DCPS central office to do diligence on a company before making them an approved/preferred vendor.  This company had obviously been having problems for years that should have been apparent with some very basic vetting.[/quote]
