Assessing Emergency Preparedness

Assessing Emergency PreparednessHow often do you think, “It will never happen to me?”

The harsh reality is that emergency situations do occur, and you never know when or what might happen to you. School bus drivers have one of the most vital roles in education – to transport students safely to and from school. They must be prepared for anything – the students and their families are counting on them.

The pupil transportation industry has an impressive safety record because of a constant commitment to safety, training, and preparedness. We compiled some simple tools and information to further fortify this mindset. School Bus Drivers Can Never Have Enough Preparation because the more training, practice, knowledge, and insight the better. Preparedness is a journey, not a destination.

STS Highlights May 2023

STS Highlights: May 2023

We are on the cusp of releasing our much anticipated online ELDT Theory curriculum. It’s a very exciting time as we finalize the remaining details and begin releasing curriculum tracks for sale to the public. We’ll also be able to support other registered trainers in situations where they want to round-out their program with an online component. Again, it’s all very exciting!

As the stress and pressure dissipate from the completion of this big project, it’s fortuitous that May is Mental Health Month. I’ve written about this before because the open discussion of mental health issues and concerns helps to normalize our common struggles. This year’s theme is, “Take some time to Look Around, Look Within.”

The school year is also winding down. Remember to take time for yourself and enjoy the summer!

The goal with these monthly resources is always to help elevate your career, department, or organization. As always, we take pride in helping you meet your training requirements and goals.

All the best,
Patrick

STS Highlights March 2023

STS Highlights: March 2023

This year, I’ve been focused on the concept of Spring Cleaning. I’m doing it more than I ever have before at both home and work. It’’s oddly fulfilling, easily scalable, and 100% controllable within my life. It provides a simple task with a positive outcome.

Spring cleaning is not new. Cleaning, repairing, and organizing encourages a fresh start with the new season, and the concept easily transitions to a bus garage BECAUSE cleaning promotes maintenance and safety. Cleaning and disinfecting is a simple task that protects against contagions. Do your drivers clean and disinfect?

Appreciatively,
Patrick
