Training
-
We must focus intensely on the process of transporting our students safely on the “education” road to success. This may sound simple, but it is a very complex process that involves standards from the “Federal Government”, “Florida's State Department”, “National Organizations”, and “District Policies”.
Training include providing skill building, compliance-based and professional development programs for all members of the department and school-based personnel.

Once an individual decides to accept the important responsibility of providing transportation services as a Bus Operator, they participate and must successfully complete a very comprehensive training program.
- Phase One - Classroom Course required by the Florida's State Department of Education (DOE), Basic School Bus Operator Training Curriculum.
