The Garden City Public Schools Transportation Department had two school bus drivers place in the State Safety Competition held June 16 and 17 in Salina.

Jerry Guerrero took fifth in the Experienced Transit Division, and Debra Brungardt placed fifth in the Rookie Transit Division.

The school bus safety competition is designed to recognize excellence in school bus drivers while demonstrating skills needed in their demanding jobs of safely transporting students. The competition consists of a written exam and a series of skills tests.

The written examination tests the school bus drivers' knowledge in all areas of school bus operations and with many laws, rules and regulations. This portion of the competition tested the drivers' knowledge, as well as their ability to comprehend and respond to written instructions.

The driving skills require the drivers to demonstrate exemplary skills in such areas of law/regulation knowledge, school bus inspections, and bus driving skill maneuvers. The drivers were challenged to maneuver a school bus around obstacles and demonstrate that they know the proper way to operate a school bus.
