To
and from school, transportation involves the dedication and reliability
of many. Griffin School District is fortunate to have supportive
Administrative, Teaching and Office Staffs which consider the school bus
ride an “extension of the classroom.” With this support Griffin School
Bus Drivers strive to provide safe and timely student transportation
each school day.
Your child’s safe transportation day
begins with the bus driver performing a thorough Pre-trip Safety
Inspection of their school bus and continues throughout the bus route
with safe conscientious driving skills developed while participating in a
comprehensive Washington State School Bus Driver Training Program.
Griffin School District Bus Drivers
are authorized by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
(OSPI) and must continue to comply with WAC 392-144, attend annual
in-service training, continue to meet physical requirements, maintain
First Aid & CPR certification, submit fingerprints for the
Washington State Patrol and FBI background reports, as well as provide
an annual disclosure statement, submit to random Drug and Alcohol
testing as regulated by the Department of Transportation and the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration, continue to meet CDL requirements,
and participate in Emergency Response Training for Bus Drivers.
Griffin School buses are
preventatively maintained and safety inspected on regular intervals to
continue to meet Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction-Pupil
Transportation and Washington State Patrol School Bus Safety Inspections.
Please find additional information on
this “Transportation Website.” The Griffin Transportation Team will
strive to continue the safe level of service currently being provided as
we continue to support Griffin School District students, staff and
community.
