As a result of a successful training program for Arkansas School Bus Mechanics, a cooperative agreement among the mechanics has been established. The mechanics agree to offer their services to assist school buses that experience mechanical problems on activity trips within driving distance of the mechanics’ home school.
The superintendents and mechanics that participate in the program are to be commended for their cooperative effort to assist other school districts during mechanical breakdowns on activity trips. This program may have a fee attached to it for parts and/or labor.
The attached list of mechanics may be posted in each activity trip bus. The names and phone numbers are for emergency school use only. Please in-service the activity trip drivers on the proper use of the program. Please do not release these names to school employees who are going on vacation or personal trips. This is not the purpose of this program.
