Why do they keep hiring this bus driver

I been a bus driver for 10 plus years going on 12 years this summer. They hired this lady back who I been there for 8 years. Whose been fired 3 times and rehired that I know of. I heard don’t know how true it is. She’s been fired another time before I got there and and she moved away for a while maybe 10 or 15 or so years ago.




Well…. The first time. She had a problem with cussing at kids. She did this multiple times before they finally let her go. The second time she got rehired again because there was not enough drivers and she has been driving a long time. Same problems until she was caught by a state trooper speeding 80 miles per hour on the highway…. She was placed on leave before she was inevitably fired and struck a deal she would become a bus aide….. Which she had all kinds of problems there as well and treated the special needs kids like crap.



Then after a while they put her back as a substitute driver. Well then in 2020 she was fired again because she refused to wear a mask and threw a massive fit over it.


Now…. Because of the shortage of drivers they brought her back on. She road rages with other drivers. Every time she has subbed my route she’s left a nasty note even when my route that year was a pretty well behaved route compared to most routes in the district. They tell me how horrible and mean she is. Which truthfully the first few times I didn’t really believe them sometimes they exaggerate stuff and just got into trouble.


But when I checked the cameras she was literally screaming at them like a banshee… the only times I raise my voice is so they can hear me of if I’m having a major problem.


She has gotten into nasty road rage with not only other vehicles but bus drivers and threatened to kick another drivers ass once. Which got her into trouble. To be fair this driver ran her stop light. But still.



She shouldn’t be working anywhere near children. But yet they keep on bringing her back on.


In 10 years I can count on one hand how many kids I have wrote up. She’s wrote up half my bus
