The Solon City Schools’ transportation team placed second overall and earned several awards at the North Regional Ohio School Bus Driver Safety Road-e-o April 20 in Oberlin.
Julie Glavin, president of the Solon Board of Education, comments about the district’s school bus driving open house Saturday at Solon Middle School during the board’s meeting Monday . SOLON , Ohio --
Solon drivers David Pitrone and Patty McCoy-Craft placed second and seventh, respectively, both qualifying for the State Road-e-o.The combined scores of Pitrone, Hall, Meg Cleveland and Mercedes Petite earned Solon the second-place team award. A test score of 80 percent or higher counts toward a driver’s recertification requirements, Bolden said.
“We are very proud of the results posted by all of our drivers and the camaraderie they showed at the event in cheering for each other,” she said in the release. Those who attended had an opportunity to test drive a school bus and interview for a job as a bus driver in the district -- which barely has enough drivers to cover its routes.
“So we’ve got a tremendous number of interview candidates,” he said. “We’re hoping that we can convert those into drivers so we don’t have to cut routes.Bolden had told the board April 15 that the district is in such desperate need of bus drivers that it may have to cut some routes so that its limited number of drivers “can still do the job and get the majority of our kids to school safely.”
