Im 14 years old and if i petition to get a bus driver fired can i get in trouble for it?

Answer 1

If your reasons for wanting him fired is a lie, you most certainly can get in trouble. While your school district will consider a petition from a bunch of 14 year old kids, they also know that your bus driver has been carefully interview and screen in order to get his job, and that he is probably supporting his family from that job, so think long and hard before you do something stupid. You could get banned from the bus, and them your mom would have to drive you to school every day. Is that what you want?

When I was younger I drove a school bus for a few years and I know my school district supervisers would totally back me up over the complaints of a 14 year old kid any day..

Answer 2

To answer your question, yes you could start a petition and I doubt if you would get into any trouble other than irritating somebody and they may make your life hard for a while.

If you have a legitimate problem with this driver, you need to talk to your parents and discuss it with them. If they agree with you then you and your parents should go to the schools management and file a complaint. If the problem is serious enough file charges against him/her and notify the police.

If the bus driver is not a school bus driver, but drives a city bus, then file a complaint with the bus authority. The driver will have a union behind him, but depending on the offense it may not matter. Take drinking on the bus, he would be fired, or at least taken off the bus route and would have to go to rehab, and the next offense he would be fired.

Answer 3

I doubt a petition soliciting for a bus driver to be fired for being "impolite" should be taken heavily, no longer to educate effect in difficulty for those signing it. I do imagine there are rather wider themes nonetheless. Is the driver extremely impolite, or is she merely insisting on strong behaviour in the bus, i.e. all and sundry to proceed to be seated, no shouting, no throwing issues, etc? if so, the toddlers would in some unspecified time sooner or later understand she is sweet to finish that. also, the eighth grade is of an age to learn that some all and sundry is merely impolite and infrequently you merely ought to submit with it, no longer upward thrust up a petition to eliminate them. it really is only a bus journey. became there any rigidity on your sister to signal this petition? i do not unavoidably recommend overt rigidity, yet when this piece of paper is being exceeded around the bus and all and sundry else appears to be like signing it, it ought to take a courageous newborn to pass it on unsigned. Then if there is difficulty, those who signed antagonistic to their more advantageous perfect judgement can sense very envious.

Answer 4

The "whistleblower" laws should protect you. If there is a serious concern about the bus driver that needs to be addressed (drug/alcohol use, endangerment of children, other citizens, or property, etc) and you feel strongly enough about it to get something done about it, you should be protected.

If all it is a personal vendetta against him and he has been working fully within the school's policy and the law, then you could be branded a troublemaker or maybe sent to detention or suffer other punishment for taking frivolous actions against him.

Answer 5

Usually when one person wants a bus driver fired, the one person has behavior problems....

Answer 6

That all depends on what you SAY he did.

Did he fart on the bus?
Pick his nose?
Throw you out of the bus head first?

Answer 7

Why do you want him fired ?

It sounds like something you should get your parents involved with.

Answer 8

if you do that you need to have good probable cause to get her fired

Answer 9

no
