The bullying in our schools is horrible. Can't imagine how bad it must be with no adults around. This is why I drive my kid everyday.

I believe bus aides would be an asset for the elementary schools.

I have had two separate concerns this school year, both times they could have been prevented if an aide had been on the bus. Kids are not left alone at home, nor in a car...they shouldn't be left to supervise themselves on a bus. When the bus comes to pick up my son, I have seen kids jumping over seats, bopping other kids in the head. My son has asked me to drive several times as he says its "so loud"...(and I have)

Bus aides are so important because too much goes on in these busses. Someone needs to keep an eye on the kids so that the driver is able to keep their eyes on the road and maintain safe travels for everyone.

Bus aides are important for the safety of all students riding the bus.

I think it is very important! My Grandson was being picked on by an older child and being punched in the arm daily. Bus monitors should be mandatory. Thanks

they need to have safety the bus driver shouldn't have to multi task or put kids in danger when looking at the kids and the road at the same time

My 10 year old granddaughter has had several problems on the bus this year. She has been bullied and has told me that the driver is on the phone, talks about Gos and swears. I have called transportation and thr principal but in continues.

The addition of bus aides is not only important for the monitoring of the children's behavior, it's also critical to the driver to be able to focus while driving.

As a parent of 3 kids on Riverview buses that have been bullied almost daily, I am happy to sign. We have gotten to the point where we are forced to drive them most days.

I believe a better route for the district is to decrease the amount of busing we offer and push out the walker levels. Then maybe more funds can be allocated to the safety of the buses. Busing is not mandatory and taking funds from education is detrimental. That being said, if the district sees fit to keep busing as many students, I think the safety needs to be addressed. There are ways to think outside of the box too, cameras have helped other districts.

I believe School Bus Aides are essential to the School System! Especially with todays issues of bullying and peer pressure. Please make this happen! I know it will put my mind at ease!

Many of the buses already have aides, hopefully the leap to all can happen!
