Very confusing predicament!

[OMG]

Very confusing predicament!, so here we are with the bus chart stating we only take upwards of 10 students. But if there are other students at other stops we have to take them, which would make the bus overcrowded. Now what about in the afternoon, many of the IS Buses already have sometimes over 40 kids, some 45 or 50. Now if half of those kids get on the bus in the afternoon, is that Safe distancing? Is that looking out for the safety of the children?  All I've been hearing until now is the board of Ed will not put the children at risk! Really ? Cluster Fuck !

What about our safety?

I asked Owen and he pretty much shunned me when I said what do we do if we have 24 kids that we pick up but can't space out

What about our safety?

1) is anyone stopping at dead stops that they know are 1000000 percent dead on their run?

2) nothing was mentioned about OUR safety... if we need to wear a mask/shield? Nothing was mentioned about us cleaning/spraying down the bus after the AM and PM

3) what do we do if we run out of room the space how does the seating work then?

It's absolute fucking lunacy. They're basically telling you, "Social distancing is required, unless you have more than 10 kids. In that case, fuck it."

Just un-fucking-believable!!

[OMG]

Well they better give us an answer before Monday but I'm taking my ten and shut the door

I guess at that point I would just say when you're passed ten tell them to sit next to someone that's at their stop but not on top of each other

    Buzz can you check with Ernie over the amount of students allowed on the bus. Ernie was talking to a few drivers in the drivers room concerning this and stated NOT to take over 10 students. He said that he was going to put out something tonight to that effect. Can you check on that? Thanks!

I know. He hasn't done that yet, but says he will get to it before the night is out.

Probably better to first put kids in rows that have nobody in them before having them sit together.

[OMG]

What if I'm at 10, and still have five stops left to go? Now I kind of understand the teachers, they have a point. What about our safety, they have no idea what they are doing.

I did. He's going to hold off on putting anything out pending the results of conversations between companies, OPT, the union and their lawyers. Let you know what comes of it.

And it's not only our safety. What about the other kids on the bus whose parents assume are being socially distanced?

I have kids on my bus that are going the full five days a week. I thought it was remote learning and Hybrid. I guess not for these kids.
