What is a School Bus Monitor?
A School Bus Monitor, also known as a bus attendant or aide, is an essential professional responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of students during their journey to and from school on the bus. Their primary role is to supervise the students, manage their behavior, and provide assistance to the bus driver in maintaining a secure and orderly environment. School bus monitors help to create a positive atmosphere on the bus by promoting respect and appropriate behavior among passengers. They also assist students with disabilities or special needs, ensuring they have the necessary support to board and disembark safely.
