I assured her that I would and was working with the school on this situation but that I also have some problems with some things that Bianca is doing. Tabitha did not bring the cell phones to me this morning. But I spoke with Bianca about her arguing on paper and she said that Molly was the one with the attitude, she said that even Tabitha asked Molly why she was getting an attitude, WHO KNOWS!! But I am emailing Mrs. Teems and CC Mr. Tidaback just so they won't be in the dark when Bianca's grandmother shows up at school ;) I have a copy of email on file. Head count 49. AAS @ 8:12.

Monday 4/28/08 Routes

AM
SHES- Good route. Loren was shoved on the bus by his mother, he was sobbing, I am sure he would have stopped but she decided to take him off the bus. Head count 35. AAS @ 7:15am.
BSMS - Good route. Trey asked to get up and go to the back and get something, so I let him. He asked again and I told him no, sit down and be quite, he was yelling across the bus and he said it was about his myspace. He sat down after I told him to. At the school Tabitha, Bianca and CarolJane stayed on the bus, CarolJane exited almost immediately, but Bianca and Tabitha stayed. It seems that Zsaree had planned with another girl to "jump" Bianca when she got off the bus. Bianca was in tears and a crowd of students were hanging around outside the door of my bus, standing there in the rain. When they saw Bianca on the bus one of them shouted "why you scared to get off the bus?" Bianca said her name was Tatiana Adams or something like that, I don't know her but Officer Staggs did. I sent Tabitha into the gym for help, noone was there, so she ran to the cafeteria and got Officer Staggs. Come to find out Trey went to the back of the bus to insult Bianca, he said that Rodney Hill had said something about her hair and he was making fun of it. Bianca was in tears and would not get off the bus, so Officer Staggs took down the names I could give him and escorted her into the school. I will write up Trey for his insult and Zsaree for her part. UGH! Head count 48. AAS @ 8:09am. Unloaded at front dumpster with Mr. Fussell.
PM
SHES - Nicholas was TA. Good route. Head count 35.
BSMS - AABSMS @ 3:21pm. Rodney Hill and Antarica both asked me if I wrote them up for that stuff with Bianca. I told Rodney the only reason his name came up was beacause Trey said that Rodney made the insult, Trey just delivered it. I wasn't even aware that Antarica was involved. Trey was OOS standing. It appeared to me that Zsaree, Antarica and Trey were talking about the "situation" with Bianca because I heard Trey say something about Officer Staggs brought her in the cafeteria, so I told all three of them to change the subject NOW! They assured me that they were talking about someone else, whatever. They whispered and mumbled the rest of the ride home which is FINE WITH ME! LaDarrell had gum when he got off the bus. Today was Aaliyah's first day off the bus, 3 day suspension. I turned in the referrels to Mrs. Teems this afternoon and told her that Officer Staggs handled the situation this morning. Tabitha and Molly spoke to me this afternoon after Bianca had gotten off the bus. Tabby was very upset that Bianca had threatened to call the police on Tabby for stealing her cell phones, phones that Bianca crammed into Tabby's bookbag to hide, see ??/?? post for the story. I told Tabby not to worry about it that she had me as a witness from the beginning, she said she was bringing the phone to me in the morning to turn into the school, I told her that was fine. Molly was upset because Bianca was rude to her and had an attitude with her. None of this is one tape because they were writing notes, so Bianca WROTE her attitude. Head count 44.

As the buses were pulling out of school, Trey begged several times to get off the bus, I told him NO over and over but he continued to beg and plead, so I informed him that if he got off he would have to find another way home, because the buses were already leaving. He still begged so I opened the door, he said he HAD to get his cell phone. I left him at school and he caught a ride. As I was traveling down Old Airport Rd, slowing to make a stop at Castlegate, Trey ran up beside the bus beating on the side screaming for me to open the door. He was screaming that a dog was chasing him. Because I was in the middle of HEAVY traffic, I immediately activated my 8ways to stop the moving traffic and hopefully keep anyone from getting hurt. Trey boarded the bus got his book bag and then got back off and walked home from there. We were app. 500 ft from his normal stop, so he did not have to walk far, but I am writing him up for a safetly violation. I spoke with cindy about it on Saturday and she agreed about the write up. Kayla got off the bus in tears, she was extremely angry with Zsaree. She told me that she had been holding her tongue and her temper but it was all she could do to sit in her seat and not defentd herself against all the things that Zsaree has been saying. I told her that we needed to talk in detail about this but she was intent in getting off the bus so I told her we would talk about it Monday AM. She agreed.

Tabitha gave them to me this morning then she said she kinda just wanted to give them back to Bianca and tell Bianca that her mom told her she can't hold them for her anymore, she said they are friends and have been friends since 5th grade. I told her the decision was hers unless I found out they are stolen, but I also said that I don't want Bianca taking advantage of Tabitha. I told her to think about it and that I wouldn't turn them in today and she could tell me this afternoon. I am going to try to charge them and find out if there is any info on them that would tell me who they may belong to.
PM
SHES - Trent was hitting Malik in the head with his fist because Malik got into his seat I am going to seperate them and possibly write Trent up if necessary. I gave Kalil the seat and Trent and Malik ran him out. Malik reached over the seat and took something from Keanu, maybe Malik and Trent need to be upfront for good.

My bus was at transportation all day, I had inspection and an oil change and they replaced a headlight even though the old one still worked but no complaints here. Tina brought me home in T16 a brown car. I practiced the rodeo course 1 1/2 times, I was just exhausted and couldn't complete the course and drive the bus home too, so I gave up and will try again when Lance can drive me there and let me practice.

4/07/08 Routes 155384 mileage

First day back after spring break and I overslept! I have never overslept...oh well, I was only 5 minutes late for my first pick up and got to SHES by 7:16am....so it all worked out :)
AM
SHES - good route. Head count32 AAS 7:16am. Very low on fuel :(
BSMS - good route. Quiet except for Kayla who was back on the bus this morning as was Zsaree but I never heard Zsaree speak. No Kahlil, I guess he and his grandmother are still angry, oh well, more room for us! We were short several people which gave us just enough room for everyone. Head count 50 AAS 8:10. Unloaded just past Gym, trench coat lady and the usual man were there. Got 32 gallons of fuel.
PM
SHES - good route. Head count 31.
BSMS - AAS 3:20pm. Ms. Teems spoke with me about the fight last week between Brandon and Deiago, she says that if they BOTH say it was just play, then we won't do anything about it, I agree. She also asked me to watch the tapes for the day that Keiola handed me the note about Michael and the day before to see if I could see anything...the videos only show all the students getting up to exit the bus or to move into another seat (because we are so overcrowded, they move into the first available seat) so I sent her an email telling her that. Personally I think that Keiola's word should be enough anyway. The following kids had gum, I made them spit it out: Antarica, Rodney Hill, Micah, Martavious & Kahlil. Kahlil never spit his out, and was disrespectful but not too awful bad, I guess he is still mad. He got off at Keiola's, I tried to call his Grandmother on her cell and at home but could not get her, I just didn't want to have to write him up for gum (kinda ridiculous) and I needed to make sure it was okay if he gets off at Keiola's instead of his usual stop. I wrote him up because I could not reach his grandmother. Aaliyah and LaAsia were too loud, so I wrote them up. LaAsia got a warning, but Aaliyah got a referral. Jasmine was hanging out in the aisle to talk to Micah and she was too loud. Antarica screamed at Rod for picking at her and "touching" her, he was poking her in the neck. I will talk to Rod because Antarica was in a terrible mood, she was over-reacting. Head count 52.
