Transportation and Maintenance

We are committed to student success and their safety while riding Social Circle City Schools' buses. It is imperative that you update your child's Infinite Campus account with any changes throughout the school year as this will help us maintain our route information.

The bus fleet consists of 7 conventional buses, 8 transit school buses, and 5 special needs buses. Every school bus is equipped with electronic surveillance equipment. The fleet will travel over 200,000 miles this school year.

All new bus drivers will receive the following training based on State and County Requirements:

• 12 hours of classroom training (State)
• 12 hours of driver training without students
• 12 hours of driver training with students

In addition to the above, all drivers:

• Must obtain an annual DOE physical
• Required to participate in Drug and Alcohol testing
• Obtain and pass a criminal background clearance
• Receive CPR, First-Aid, Epi-Pen, and Stop the Bleed training
• Receive training in bullying, child abuse, and positive behavioral interventions
• Implement a student management system to encourage children to examine their behavior toward the rights of others and safety
• Must attend or participate in the Georgia Department of Education's Safety Meeting
• Participate in monthly safety meetings
