Mrs. Pat has been driving the Watermark bus for 7 years with my two daughters various years and we have NEVER had any issue. She cares about the kids and safety is her biggest concern. I strongly request you reinstate her as our driver and look closely at the few that complained, my guess is that their children were misbehaving on the bus.

I was informed this evening that Pat the driver for bus #31 has been re-assigned to a different route. I would like to request that Pat be reinstated to her legacy route for Victoria elementary students. I have appreciated Pat serving the transportation needs of our 3 children over the past 6-years. Pat's performance during this time has been nothing short of exemplary. Notably, I have a great deal of trust in the physical and emotional safety of our children being held in the highest regard with Pat on our route. Thank you for your consideration. Ben Kruger

Please bring Pat back!

We love and appreciate Pats care and close protection over our children on the bus. Yes people say she's strict but it's good for our children to have some discipline in their lives, especially for their wellbeing. We hope she comes back on our route very soon. She is missed by many.

Please assign Pat back to bus 31. We respect Pat as a bus driver who puts the safety of her students on the bus first. I love that I feel comfortable putting my children on the bus when Pat drives because I know they will get to and from school on a safe and respectful bus. Not only do my husband and I miss Pat driving our children to school, our children miss Pat. Please assign her back to bus 31.

Please bring Pat back to our route on Kelzer Pond! She was the one who knew our kids by name and greeted them by name every morning as they stepped on the bus. She always gave thoughtful little cards or treats for the kids on the holidays, to show she really cares for these kids. Pat takes a lot of pride in her job and takes safety seriously. Kids will always complain of strict rules, but they don't understand they are enforced for their safety. I'm not sure what the children were reporting from those families who wanted her removed, but in almost 10 years of her driving my children, I have been nothing but encouraged and relieved to see her smiling face each morning. We also have children with food allergies and so really appreciate her being vigilant about no food on her bus. I respect and appreciate the rules she enforces as it's for the safety of our kids! Please bring Pat back to our route! My kids (even those who "graduated" from her bus) were so sad and disappointed that she was taken from our route!

Pat is a dependable bus driver. We would prefer her on the route.

It was extremely disconcerting to be informed that Pat, driver of bus #31, had been re-assigned a different bus route and would no longer be the driver for our neighborhood's children. Pat has been my daughter's bus driver for the past 6 years and I fully support her rules and policies she enforces on her bus. It takes a certain type of bus driver that can handle the stress and responsibilities of doing their job and putting the safety of the children first. Pat is the only bus driver I've witnessed do this. She enforces her rules and is quick to respond to issues. She has great route management and has constantly been on time and never misses a stop. The safety of our our children has always been her top priority. She exhibits a level of kindness that I have never witnessed before in a bus driver. We completely stand behind her rules and regulations to keeping her bus and our children safe. Please return Pat back to our neighborhood's route ASAP!
