| TRANSPORTATION SAFETY |
The North Syracuse Central School District will ensure that all buses are cleaned/disinfected once a day. Bus drivers will be required to wipe down high contact areas after each run depending upon the disinfection/cleaning schedule.
School bus drivers, monitors and attendants will wear face masks at all times while operating the bus with students on board and when they are within 6 feet of fellow employees, students or community members. Mechanics will wear face masks along with optional face shields when they are within 6 feet of another person. The District will provide personal protective equipment (PPE), such as masks, gloves and optional face shields, for transportation staff, including drivers, monitors, attendants, mechanics and cleaners.
Transportation staff will be trained on and provided with periodic refreshers regarding the proper use of PPE, signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and proper social distancing. The District’s Safe Transportation Plan includes the following:
- Hand sanitizer will be provided to all staff in their transportation locations such as dispatch offices, at check in windows and/or bus garages;
