    If the bus supervisor had hung up on you, you need to move up. You did the right thing calling the supervisor first. Follow the chain of command and just keep moving up until you get some satisfaction. Call the superintendent of schools. The supervisor should take this very seriously, and if he doesn't then you need to complain about him/her also. You can request to be put on the board agenda if all of this doesn't work. Pretty time consuming, but it may keep others from being put in the same situation. Let us know how it goes.

    I'd put it in writing to the bus supervisor, too, with a CC to the superintendent.

    Hey Eden, I just saw this. Anything new? I wonder if Cascade Bicycle Club collects info like this, or if their advocacy people can help . . . this sounds like inexcusable behavior for a school bus driver.

    Good luck!

    What a jerk! No if he/she were to hit you with the kids on the bus they'd probably feel like the biggest lame.

    I wonder if the driver is and employee of a transportation company, or works for the school. School employees have to answer to the community and are held more accountable.
    I work for my school district as a school bus driver, and I can honestly say that the 12 of us are very careful around bikers and walkers. It's rural here, and that probably makes a difference.
    The last time I encountered bicyclists during a bus run, I gave them a lot of room and waited until visibility was clear before passing, in the other lane.
    They were waving at me to pass them but I didn't feel comfortable doing it until I could see down the other side of the hill. I was also admiring their speed on a hill I can only do 8mph on.
