HoCo School Bus Clusterf*ck

Depends on the road type.

What?

Kids can't walk on the edges of roads? If that's what you are depicting?

It's not hard.

Sort of tongue in cheek here, it makes them more aware of people trying to take them out, so good training.

I didn't die when I walked to school all of those years...

I’d rather haul nuclear weapons then children

I'd haul faeces. Pays better and talks less.

It's called driving the stool bus.

When those little misbehaving creatines start thugging/acting up... you just gotta brake check them. You give a wink to the ones that are behaving (while looking in the mirror) and they acknowledge with a grin and brace. Brace for impact..

It's great, post school misbehaving bus discharge's wander off.. the incorrigibles come staggering of the bus.

At least this is how I would my bus.

Growing up in the 'burbs , sure . There's sidewalks and quiet streets . We walked the up to 1.5 miles as posted earlier .

For my kids ? Out here in the country with narrow roads , zero shoulders , poor sightlines ? Different thing . It's dangerous enough for Me to walk along the road for 40 yards to go to the mailbox .

Only read through the first page. Just going to stop there.

My wife heard about the bus issue, but I should show this to her so I look even morer brillianter.

She was hesitant about the move from HoCo to Carroll in late 2019. Here we are, nearly 4 years later, and I just look morer geniuser.

The athletic director at my daughter's and son's high school was poking fun at HoCo last week during the Meet the Coaches night for soccer.

Carroll County is headed the same way as MoCo and HoCo, but still needs a lot of residential development before it gets that bad and even the liberals here are opposing further development.

My youngest starts kindergarten tomorrow. Need a little less than 13 years here.

You should check out the issues HoCo is having with athletic directors. I think there's something like 6 in the county and most games don't have one present.

The athletic director at South Carroll addressed the issue. Seems as though there is a shortage of athletic trainers, but there will be one available at the South Carroll JV and varsity soccer games.

Just so happy we moved.

Same situation at Century for the soccer teams. We have a new AD this year, so I’m trying to feel her out.

Was it not the Superintendent that pushed the Zum bus stuff? COO resigned. Scapegoat?

Howard County schools’ chief operating officer resigns following bus issues

“The failure of transportation is my responsibility,” former chief operating officer Scott Washington told the Banner on Wednesday. “Because of the result of transportation, I resigned.”

easy there, tiger.

Reports from the 'hood this morning are that the buses were actually early and instead of waiting they just picked up whoever was at the stop and rolled out.

I've got a teacher friend in the county trying to get ahold of zum for a field trip later this fall. He's called the Zum # a bunch of times and nobody picks up. He's tried emailing a bunch of times and nobody replies. So zum's contract to provide transportation for field trips.... looks less than likely so far.

Less volatile.

Yes. Less need for decontamination between the two, if done in that order.

COO resigned. Scapegoat?

Hey, he admitted it was his problem to deal with (that is something), but his way of dealing with it was to quit dealing with it. Some kind of "man" he is. F'in loser. Example of why things are the way they are today in general.

Deal with it and probably get fired when it's fixed or just leave beforehand?

Sounds like a cost/benefit ratio decision to me.

He'll resurface again during Martirano's next job in a victim district.

If I cause a problem, I feel its my responsibility to make it right. My conscience doesn't accept me leaving it for someone else to fix. I can't relate to those who are okay with leaving problems they create for someone else to handle.

Scott Washington has a pretty good reputation. I imagine (this is just my personal take) it probably went more like, "I told you this was going to happen and you wouldn't listen. This is now your mess to clean up, I'm out".

This. I think he was 'forced' to resign...red meat for the masses.

Fair enough.

Just saying its a cost/benefit decision, one of those costs being the hit on one's conscience - which in the COO's case, doesn't seem to be much cost for him.
