Limited changes to school bus drivers and attendants may occur on Feb 9 and 23 respectively
This will be based on the workers’ mid-year ‘seniority pick’ but only at certain companies, as follows.
Companies where some Drivers switch on Feb 9; Monitors stay for a week, then switch on Feb 23 after break: All American, Bobby’s, Boro, SNT, Grandpa’s, Hoyt, IC Bus, Logan, Lorissa, NYCSBUS (Umbrella Services); Pioneer
Monitors only - switch Feb 26th: ANJ
Monitors only - switch Feb 9th: B-Alert
To find out whether your student’s route is changing personnel: ASK closer to Feb 6. The current driver or monitor may stay, or might not know for sure whether they are staying until then. It’s not up to the owner; this is a union perk meant to help people (those who have worked on yellow buses longest) to organize their life.

Informacion en español sobre Algunos cambios de personal en el autobús son posibles el segundo y cuarto lunes de febrero, según la 'elección de antigüedad' de los trabajadores a mitad de año, pero solo en ciertas empresas, como arriba.
