School board told school bus drivers need clean records

BRIDGEPORT — Individuals with criminal backgrounds can’t get behind the wheel of one of the city’s 29,800 pound city school buses despite the second chance mind set of some city school board members. State laws governing school driver licensing prohibit it, the city school board was told Monday, when it agreed, by a 6-0 vote to a three-year contract with We Transport. The insurance carrier for We Transport also frowns upon it, Andrew Ifill, the local manager for We Transport told the board. “We don’t hire anyone with a criminal history,” Ifill said, adding he is willing to attach the company’s hiring policy as an addendum to the contract.
