What tools does a school bus driver need?

A school bus driver primarily needs a valid commercial driver's license (CDL) with a school bus endorsement to operate the vehicle legally. Additionally, they should have access to a safety vest, a first aid kit, and a communication device, such as a radio or cell phone, for emergencies. Other useful tools include a vehicle inspection checklist and a route map or GPS for navigation. Finally, a good understanding of safety protocols and student management techniques is essential for ensuring a safe and efficient ride.
