   SCR 94, Harman. Schoolbus Drivers' Day.
   This measure would designate April 27, 2010, as Schoolbus Drivers'
Day in California, in order to draw special public attention to
schoolbus drivers for their continued and excellent services to
pupils in California.



   WHEREAS, Annually, on the fourth Tuesday of April, the people of
California officially recognize all schoolbus drivers for their
continued and excellent services to the youth of the state, and these
drivers are deserving of special public recognition and the highest
commendations; and
   WHEREAS, The California Association of School Transportation
Officials is a professional organization that promotes safe pupil
transportation and advocates for continued high standards for
California's schoolbus drivers; and
   WHEREAS, The safety of our children rests in the hands of trained
schoolbus drivers for up to six or seven hours each schoolday; and
   WHEREAS, Personal time and energy are expended by schoolbus
drivers in their initial training, maintaining a current license,
perfecting their driving skills, and accruing added knowledge of
schoolbus laws through continuing education classes; and
   WHEREAS, Schoolbus drivers, through counseling and disciplinary
techniques, are sometimes asked to assist pupils in appropriate
interactive peer and adult behavior; and
   WHEREAS, Schoolbus drivers often face natural and unexpected
hazards in the performance of their duties; and
   WHEREAS, Schoolbus drivers exhibit patience and kindness toward
pupils, parents, and school staff in the performance of their duties;
and
   WHEREAS, Schoolbus drivers consistently demonstrate an awareness
of, and direct attention to, the mechanical maintenance of the
schoolbus and safety conditions of the schoolbus routes; and
   WHEREAS, Schoolbus drivers perform their services for thousands
and thousands of accident-free miles, year after year; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby designates April 27,
2010, as Schoolbus Drivers' Day in California, in order to draw
special public attention to schoolbus drivers for their continued and
excellent services to pupils in California; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate transmit copies of this
resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
