Board honors school bus drivers for safety and community service
Summary
The board adopted a resolution commending San Francisco school bus drivers for safety, volunteerism and instances of life‑saving action; drivers and advocates described several incidents and the board voted unanimously to approve the commendation.
The San Francisco Board of Education adopted a resolution recognizing the district's school bus drivers for their safety record, volunteer work and dedication to students.
Speakers representing families and transportation staff recounted several emergency responses attributed to drivers, including one driver who radioed 911 for a child who had stopped breathing and another who performed a Heimlich maneuver that a parent said "saved her life." Juno Duenas, director of support for families, thanked drivers for volunteering at a district resource conference and for daily care given to students with disabilities.
Commissioners offered personal thanks and acknowledged drivers' broader role in student advocacy and community support. The board approved the commendation by unanimous vote.
The recognition is ceremonial but highlighted the drivers' daily role in student safety and the broader education community.
