Honoring Our Bus Drivers: Bus Driver Appreciation Week and School Bus Safety Week

Writer's picture: EricJonesEricJones


Our school bus drivers and transportation team are the unsung heroes of our educational system. They play a vital role in the lives of our students, ensuring they arrive at school safely, and then back home to their families. Last month, October 16th - 20th, served as a reminder of the essential work they do throughout the year.


At the Baldwin County School District, we are committed to showing our appreciation for our bus drivers. During Georgia School Bus Driver Appreciation Week, our schools and District took various initiatives to demonstrate the gratitude we all share for our bus drivers, bus monitor, and transportation administrators.



Little also talked about several initiatives that have been rolled out over the past year to help ensure the career longevity, quality of life, and safety of our drivers.

  • Training and Recruitment: We have been focusing on improving training and recruitment efforts to ensure we have a dedicated and skilled team of bus drivers and monitors.

  • Pay Structure Enhancement: We have modified our pay salary schedule for drivers and monitors, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their vital role.

  • Incentives for School Employees: We are encouraging employees within our school system, including teachers, to obtain their bus driver's license by offering them additional incentives.

  • MyView App: We are leveraging technology to make it easier for parents and students to track the school buses. Our "MyView" app provides real-time data on bus locations, allowing parents to know when the bus is approaching their neighborhood, arriving at school, and departing for home.

  • Navigational Component: We have added a navigational component to all our buses, ensuring that substitute drivers have the necessary tools to navigate their routes and make every stop safely and on time.

Our transportation department is committed to leveraging new technologies and initiatives to ensure that students get where they need to be, on time and safely. The combination of dedicated bus drivers and modern tools like the MyView app helps us achieve this goal.


Let us remember to express our gratitude to the incredible bus drivers and transportation team at the Baldwin County School District. Their unwavering dedication and hard work contribute significantly to the success and safety of our students and our community. Thank you for all that you do!
