The school bus safety competition is designed to recognize excellence in school bus drivers while demonstrating skills needed in their demanding jobs. Events during the competition included: written test, bugged bus, offset alley, railroad crossing, straight line, right turn, back in to a dock, parallel park, decreasing clearance and bus stop.
Winners achieved the highest scores in their category and received plaques provided by the Delaware Association of Pupil Transportation officials.

Also, they are eligible to enter the 2016 School Bus Driver International Safety Competition to be held in North Carolina in July.Way to go Ed
