The Transportation
Department oversees all functions of the operation and maintenance of school
bus transportation. The goal is to provide safe, efficient, and economical
transportation of students between home and school on a regular schedule and
between other destinations within or outside First Nations.
SUCCESSES
Transportation staff
provides supports for school bus transportation safety and ensures bus safety
inspections are completed. Communication between schools and
bus drivers have
been improved through the installation of the two-way radio systems.
Purchasing school
buses for each school has allowed for school trips to attend sporting
activities in other First Nations.
First Aid, CPR
(cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and AED (automated external defibrillator)
training has been provided for bus drivers and will continue on an annual
basis. School staff
will also have training in the use of the AED equipment installed in all
schools.
