Public Expression 2nd Session(no speakers 1st session)
Ms. Ella Anderson, speaking on behalf of many SCH Transportation employees in the audience this evening, relayed to the school board members the alleged problems the employees are facing. She said they are worried about the childrens safety, as many bus monitors have been let go, causing the bus drivers to leave their seats, and unbelt and escort the kids off the buses. She said that employees with less time on the job have been getting more work hours than those with seniority. She also said that the transportation employees have been excessively monitored via camera's, even in the lunch room and meetings.
My Take:
Congratulations to the Irving students !!! GREAT JOB !!! I hope the problems the transportation employees are experiencing, are resolved.
