School bus drivers do not make much so there’s not a long line for the job. Plus they have to have a chauffeur license or a CDL. So the DMV has checked him out and approved him.

“The DMV has checked him out.” Well that settles it. He should qualify for a Top Secret security clearance. There are many competent black bus drivers. However, there is something about this man’s appearance that would make me not entrust my children to him.

I don’t know about Chatannooga, but where I live, Fairfax County, VA, school bus drivers have to have a CDL; clean driving record; clean FBI record (they’re all fingerprinted and an FBI background check conducted), spend almost 2 months in training before they’re let out onto an actual route with students, and even at that there’s a supervisor riding with them. They are subject to being greeted at any given trip by a supervisor with instructions to appear at a doctor’s office for a urine/drug test within one hour. Don’t show for the test, you lose your job, period. No excuses.

And as of about 10 years ago were paid $25/hour. A friend’s daughter (with a Masters degree) was a school bus driver for FCPS who subsequently applied for a teaching position, and at HR they asked: WHY? The drivers make more $ than teachers.
