Meet the Team
Kelli
Kelli with her Kandi
 

Most you you need no introduction to Kelli, our always smiling parts delivery specialist. If you haven't yet met her, buy some parts and she'll gladly deliver them to your site. In addition to getting the parts you need, you'll get a goodie bag filled with Kelli's Kandi! When Kelli isn't driving her Sprinter parts bus, she is home playing with her two pups, her bunny and many fish. You may remember meeting her Mom (Laurie Watson) in a previous issue. Remember, order your parts at 763-262-3328 and meet Kelli in person.

 
School Bus Safety Company Releases Training Module on Bullying Prevention   

CLEVELAND - The School Bus Safety Company (SBSC) announced today that the company has completed the development of a completely new course - "Bullying Prevention on the School Bus."

Bullying Prevention on the School Bus is the first-ever, professionally-developed curriculum created specifically to address the challenges school bus drivers face. According to SBSC President, Jeff Cassell: "Bullying is a huge problem among today's youth and it often leads to tragic circumstances. Not a day goes by that you won't find an article in the paper about this subject."

The course is built on a blended approach to adult learning and features three DVDs, a Trainer's Guide and a Driver's Job Aid, summarizing the key issues a driver needs to know. The subjects covered are:

  1. Bullying - How do I recognize it?
  2. Bullying - What can I do about it?
  3. Handling bullying situations
