Board recognizes National School Bus Safety Week and honors drivers and attendants
Summary
The Board of Education read and signed a resolution recognizing National School Bus Safety Week and School Bus Driver and School Bus Attendant Appreciation Week and introduced veteran drivers and a driver trainer.
The St. Mary's County Board of Education recognized National School Bus Safety Week and designated the week of Oct. 20–24, 2025 as School Bus Driver and School Bus Attendant Appreciation Week for the district.
During the meeting the district introduced three veteran bus drivers and a newly appointed driver trainer who were present to represent the district’s roughly 200 buses that transport more than 16,000 students daily. The board read a resolution that "recognizes the week of October 20 through the 24, 2025 as school bus driver and school bus attendant appreciation week in St. Mary's County public schools," and thanked drivers for their daily work getting students to and from school safely.
The district noted the operational complexity of pupil transportation, including driving on narrow roads and managing student behavior, and praised drivers' daily efforts. The resolution was signed by the board and presenters posed for a photo with board leadership.
The event was informational and ceremonial; no formal vote count was recorded in the meeting minutes beyond the reading and signing of the resolution.
