414.8 - Bus Driver Leave/Absenteeism
414.8 - Bus Driver Leave/AbsenteeismThe goal of the Board of Directors of the Edgewood-Colesburg Community School District is to provide a safe and adequate pupil transportation system that will insure the safety of all pupils who will be riding in school vehicles.
Success in attaining this goal is dependent in large measure upon the recruitment, training and competency of the regular drivers. Drivers selected and trained will be expected to drive on a regular basis. Bus drivers who miss over seven (7) days or fourteen (14) trips in one school year for reasons of personal and/or unpaid leave will be subject to termination of bus driving duties at the completion of that semester.
Requests for personal leave must be submitted for approval to the principal/superintendent three (3) days prior to the requested leave date. Personal leave days will be counted as part of the seven (7) days limit per year for absenteeism.
