What is the difference between the school bus driver and school bus aide?
School bus drivers must use N.J.S.A. 18A:39-19.1 when submitting to the criminal history record check. They are printed initially when obtaining the “S” endorsement from the Motor Vehicle Commission and thereafter, each time they renew their driver’s license. The school bus aide must be printed under N.J.S.A. 18A:6-7.2. Thereafter, if they remain with the same company, no further printing is required. However, if the aides change employers, they must undergo the criminal history record check as a new employee.
