Here we go again. According to the link below ...
"With the exception of students who are exempted from facial coverings requirements, everyone in a school bus must wear face masks at all times. "
A little further down it says ...
"Only students who are exempted from facial coverings requirements due to their age or medical needs, or whose physical or mental health would be impaired by wearing a face covering, may ride the bus without one."
WTF? So even if they don't have a mask we let them on?

On another page it says ...
"Students with a disability which would prevent them from wearing a mask will not be forced to do so or denied transportation, but in these cases, the transportation provided may not be the conventional mode that the student had prior to March 2020. These will be addressed on a case-by-case basis."

So what do we do if a kid shows up without a mask and the parent says it's due to a medical condition?
The rules in theses guidelines says 25% with it being 66 kids max Per bus comes out to about 16 Students a bus , Which is it 10 ,16, who's ever at the stop ? Mask , no mask , safety first or your on your own !! absolutely disgusted And not satisfied with our safety protocol Or lack there of ,If I hear "OPT said " one more time ,OPT could care less about us! Please someone in the union put Out CONCRETE guidelines that PROTECT US so we can do are job safely , at this point Im lost and would rather stay out 🤬🤬🤬🤬
I believe Owen said if they refuse to wear a mask the kids are allowed on the bus but you must report it to the school.
Once again, they only had six months to get this all worked out to look out for our safety.
I believe Owen not to let them on without a mask, but if they remove it during the route they're not allowed back on
The package of masks the company provided is if the kids don't have one? Or is that suppose to be for the drivers? lol I'm confused as hell now
