Videos for bus driver training available

As per ARSD 24:06:08 and SDCL 32-12A-27, an annual training is required by all school bus drivers. If you have drivers that missed the training sessions conducted by Harlow’s Bus Sales, please be advised that the Department of Education has videos available for your use.

Once your driver without training has reviewed the videos with someone from your district that has attended a train-the-trainer session, please submit the driver’s name, social security number and school district to School Bus Inc., 5100 W. 8th St., Sioux Falls SD 57107.  This is necessary to ensure that your school bus drivers will be accounted for and you will be able to sign off on your assurance statement by the Oct. 15 deadline. If any of your drivers have not attended a refresher course this year, you will have to select “NO” on the bus driver portion of your Personnel Record Form. Checking “NO” will not allow you to complete your assurance statement and you will need to call Deedra Gesinger at (605) 773-6934.
