WHEREAS, The safety of our children rests in the hands of trained school bus drivers for up to six or seven hours each school day; and
WHEREAS, Personal time and energy are expended by school bus drivers in their initial training, maintaining a current license, perfecting their driving skills, and accruing added knowledge of school bus laws through continuing education classes; and
