             HOUSE OR SENATE RESOLUTIONS DO NOT CONTAIN A DIGEST



   WHEREAS, Annually, on the fourth Tuesday of April, the people of
California should officially recognize all school bus drivers for
their continued and excellent services to the youth of the state, and
these drivers are deserving of special public recognition and the
highest commendations; and
   WHEREAS, The California Association of School Transportation
Officials is a professional organization that promotes safe pupil
transportation and advocates for continued high standards for
California's school bus drivers; and
   WHEREAS, The safety of our children rests in the hands of trained
school bus drivers for up to six or seven hours each school day; and
   WHEREAS, Personal time and energy are expended by school bus
drivers in their initial training, maintaining a current license,
perfecting their driving skills, and accruing added knowledge of
school bus laws through continuing education classes; and
   WHEREAS, School bus drivers, through counseling and disciplinary
techniques, are sometimes asked to assist pupils in appropriate
interactive peer and adult behavior; and
   WHEREAS, School bus drivers often face natural and unexpected
hazards in the performance of their duties; and
   WHEREAS, School bus drivers exhibit patience and kindness toward
pupils, parents, and school staff in the performance of their duties;
and
   WHEREAS, School bus drivers consistently demonstrate an awareness
of, and direct attention to, the mechanical maintenance of the school
bus and safety conditions of the school bus routes; and
   WHEREAS, Many school bus drivers perform their services for
thousands and thousands of accident-free miles, year after year; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the
Assembly declares April 22, 2014, as School Bus Drivers Day in
California in order to officially recognize school bus drivers for
their continued and excellent services to the youth of the State of
California; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
