School Bus Inc. to manage required training

The Department of Education has contracted with School Bus Inc. to manage training and busing concerns, as they relate to state and federal regulations. The Sioux Falls-based company will hold training workshops for drivers and attendants across the state.

Two options for meeting state-required training will be available. A “Train the Trainer” program allows school districts and contractors to train their own bus drivers. This option allows districts and contractors to send an individual such as a superintendent, bus supervisor, or anyone wishing to train their bus drivers to a “Train the Trainer” session. Upon completion of the course, the driver can go back to the district and train its drivers. “Train the Trainer” sessions are slated for July 27 in Sioux Falls; July 28 in Pierre; and July 30 in Rapid City. Sessions last approximately six hours. Cost is $40 per person. Participants must pre-register by July 16. All "Train the Trainer" sessions begin at 10a.m. Information on the exact location of the training will be sent out the week of July 19.

For information or to register for a session, call School Bus Inc. at

(605) 334-6644.
