Transportation will take these compliments any day, please read: I would like to file a compliment for Jim Dever. He was my bus driver for my 8th grade end-of-the-year trip this week. We left on Tuesday and were supposed to return tomorrow. However, due to thunderstorms that caused a power outage where we were staying, that included the loss of sewage services as well, and with no planned time for reinstatement, I made the difficult decision to head home last night. After driving my class to Crater Lake National Park during the day, I then had to tell Jim that he needed to drive us 6 hours home, at 6:30pm at night.

To say that Jim was supportive was an understatement. He was incredibly flexible, kind, professional, friendly, and helpful at every step of the trip, but especially during an unexpected schedule change, with incredibly difficult weather for most of the trip, to get us home at an ungodly hour of 12:30am (I'm not a night person/lol).

When we started out on the trip, he immediately told me that he was at my service, that he was ready for an adventure, and that whatever came our way, we would "Lewis and Clark" it together. I'm not sure how prophetic either of us realized that phrase would be, but he more than lived up to his words.

Thank you for assigning him to my trip this year. I would take him as my driver on any field trip going forward.

We had a fantastic time participating in Bilquist Elementary's Safety Night! Our transportation team was thrilled to connect with students and families to share essential school bus safety tips. From teaching the "danger zone" areas around the bus to practicing safe loading and unloading procedures, our goal is to make sure every student feels confident and secure on their ride to and from school.
