The Tennessee Association of Pupil Transportation is searching for the Tennessee School Bus Driver with the most years of service with a single Tennessee school district. TAPT conference attendees will honor the selected driver during the Annual Conference. The honoree will receive a plaque signifying his or her achievement, plus complimentary TAPT Conference Registration and three (3) free conference nights lodging at the Music Road Hotel in Pigeon Forge. If requested by the school district Transportation Supervisor, the TAPT President and the TAPT Executive Director will attend a local school board meeting in the district of the winner and make the presentation at the School Board Meeting. Any TAPT General Member who has attended the last two TAPT Conferences may submit a candidate for consideration by the TAPT Board. The following guidelines apply: 1. The years-of-service will be each school year completed with a single Tennessee Public school district, private school district or a head start program. 2. Do not count the 2012/2013 school year in your calculations. 3. The years-of-service do not have to be continuous but must be with the same Tennessee school district. 4. Years of experience outside of Tennessee cannot be counted. 5. Years of experience with another Tennessee school district or company cannot be counted. 6. If chosen by the TAPT Board, the winning candidate’s supervisor will be required to present a document signed by the Human Resources Department of the school district as proof of employment. 7. If acceptable proof has not been obtained in a reasonable amount of time, the TAPT Board will select another candidate. Again, this candidate's supervisor must have his/her HR Department submit proof of employment. 8. The decision of the TAPT Board is final. 9. The deadline to submit a nomination is March 1, 2013. This will give the TAPT Board ample time to obtain the proof of employment from the supervisor's HR Department. |
