ESD 112 school bus drivers carry precious cargo every day – transporting more than 1,000 students across 23 school districts in Southwest Washington.
Each year, the drivers gather for a day-long inservice at ESD 112 where they continue to hone their driving skills and gain knowledge about everything from security and crisis awareness to school bus inspections to helping students with trauma. They also have to demonstrate their prowess at jumping out the back of a bus in an emergency situation.
As part of the multi-district Specialized Student Services Cooperative, our drivers transport students who have special needs or are homeless, as well as those enrolled in early learning programs and the Washington state schools for the blind and deaf.
