YOU BE THE ARBITRATOR

School Bus Drivers

$254$

Negotiating a Collective Bargaining Agreement

and so on$.$ Driver $1$ shall not be eligible for

another field trip until all the remaining drivers

have had an opportunity to take a field trip on

each individual rotation list.

$3.$ If more than one field trip is offered on Monday

$($or whatever day$),$ driver who is up for the next

trip on the seniority list may have their choice of

field trips; next drivers will have the same option

until all trips have been exhausted.

$4.$ Any driver becoming eligible may have the

option to refuse the trip to be passed over in favor

of the less senior driver. However, the driver

refusing shall not be eligible again until the

rotation is complete. There will be no trading of

field trips.

$5.$ Field trips shall be assigned to regular classified

bus drivers only. In the event that the rotation has

been exhausted and no regular drivers are

available, the substitute drivers shall be permitted

to take field trips.

$6.$ Only classified bus drivers that are contract

drivers with the Board shall be assigned to any

route or extra trips.

$7.$ When a field trip requires early departure and

last all day or overnight, regular school bus

drivers will have the option of taking the trip.

The school bus drivers will drive their own bus

on the trip or the best available. The Supervisor

may assign any bus from the fleet to a field trip

which is more than $100$ miles one way. The

regular bus drivers will relinquish their regular

pay rate for the field$-$trip rate. Field trips will stay

on the same rotation basis.

$8.$ If drivers have a field trip canceled, they will be

offered the first field trip from the same list $($either day or after school$)$ as long as they do not

have another field trip assigned. Should they already have a field trip assigned, they will be offered the next field trip available. Receiving the

makeup trip cannot cause one to lose a trip from

the normal list.

$9.$ Every effort will be made to provide drivers with

a gas card to those assigned field trips that are

beyond a $100-$mile round trip.

$10.$ When a field trip is available and after exhausting

the regular rotation field trip list and substitute

list, that trip becomes an $$emergency field trip$$

situation. Under the earlier stated guidelines,

regular and$/$or substitute bus drivers may take the

participants to the field trip event and return to the

school district. At the completion of the field trip,

the same driver or an alternate driver may be

assigned to pick up these participants and return

to the school district; the driver being paid for the

time needed to accomplish this.

$11.$ Summer Field Trips$/$Summer School$$For the

purpose of determining the rate of pay, a

summer field trip is defined as transporting

students with a teacher$/$advisor$/$designee in

charge, and the driver of this trip will be paid

school or designated area where the driv
