They only get about 8 weeks off.. 52 weeks a year.. they definitely are there before school goes back and after school lets outout.. the school board approved it when they went on strike 5 or so years ago and everyone’s happy.. so… like I said they’ve been there for 25+ years so something’s going right..🤷♀️. I’m sorry about what’s going on in your state though. That sounds awful. Edit: I would never want to be a school bus driver because I was a holy fucking terror when I was a kid and I would never wanna deal with a kid how i was.
