To and from school, transportation involves the dedication and reliability of many.  Griffin School District is fortunate to have supportive Administrative, Teaching and Office Staffs which consider the school bus ride an “extension of the classroom.”  With this support Griffin School Bus Drivers strive to provide safe and timely student transportation each school day.

Your child’s safe transportation day begins with the bus driver performing a thorough Pre-trip Safety Inspection of their school bus and continues throughout the bus route with safe conscientious driving skills developed while participating in a comprehensive Washington State School Bus Driver Training Program.

Griffin School District Bus Drivers are authorized by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) and must continue to comply with WAC 392-144, attend annual in-service training, continue to meet physical requirements, maintain First Aid & CPR certification, submit fingerprints for the Washington State Patrol and FBI background reports, as well as provide an annual disclosure statement, submit to random Drug and Alcohol testing as regulated by the Department of Transportation and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, continue to meet CDL requirements, and participate in Emergency Response Training for Bus Drivers.

Griffin School buses are preventatively maintained and safety inspected on regular intervals to continue to meet Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction-Pupil Transportation and Washington State Patrol School Bus Safety Inspections.

Please find additional information on this “Transportation Website.”  The Griffin Transportation Team will strive to continue the safe level of service currently being provided as we continue to support Griffin School District students, staff and community.
