A school bus driver told a meeting that the work is rewarding because of the children and urged others to consider becoming bus drivers, saying, "What makes my role as a school bus driver more than just a job is the children. Like I said, they're my heart and I like to see them in the mornings when they get on or off the bus."
The speaker said drivers at the district are attentive to students' moods and needs and called the role "very rewarding," while acknowledging it "can be stressful at times, but the rewards out weigh the stress and the difficulties you have."
The driver named Hillsborough County when describing workplace benefits: "We have excellent benefits. We have excellent overtime opportunities. There's a lot of things that Hillsborough County offers that just make it a wonderful place."
The speaker also said the district is "one of the largest districts in Florida," and recommended the job to potential applicants for its combination of student contact and pay/benefit features.
These remarks were a brief, personal statement; the transcript shows no motion, formal direction to staff, or vote tied to the comments.
