Season’s Greetings TAA!
I don’t know about all of you but I am astonished at how quickly the first semester has passed. Some of us are into our winter break, while others are finishing up their time with students this week. All of us are looking forward to, and deserving of the short midyear reprieve with traditions, loved ones, and the gift of time. We wish you all the magic of the season as you reset, reflect, and recharge.
The TAA Board is working behind the scenes in planning efforts for the 2023 Summer Conference. We are collaborating with community partners, emergency responders, and experts in the field of school bus emergency preparedness to finalize the Charting the Course journey. Our goal is to have every single member and attendee come away from the week with tools to take back to their day to day operation for improved readiness, a deeper understanding of processes, and valuable resources for response to school bus emergencies large and small. We will work to equip you with tools for success. Because I truly believe we get the best results by “practicing how we will play” this practice and learning is so valuable.
Each of your region representatives is planning and will be communicating dates for your region meeting / training. In these discussions you will receive intentional Arizona industry relevant content for your teams. Our thanks to The Trust, our educational partners for working to prepare and provide this informed presentation in partnership with TAA.
Remember to visit the TAA website for information and resources related to FMCSA, AZ DPS, meeting dates, minutes, and agendas for your review and use. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with questions, needs, or suggestions at any time. We are happy to assist and want to be a resource for each of you. The school bus world is ever changing, relying on each other is critical to our success!
The TAA board will meet in early January to set early registration dates and provide additional information for the upcoming Summer Conference and its registration information.
As you prepare to begin the second half of your school year remember that it is an opportunity for another great start. Your teams will be refreshed, rested, and ready to learn. We will all welcome students back to the bus with our first priority of safety and success in mind. Be ready to offer some reminders, as truly our students will need to reconnect and may need some review of our expectations and school bus stop safety tips.
Our thanks for your dedication to student transportation and your love for the bus.
Happy Holidays,
TAA Presidency,
Shannon Weber, Mike Ajeman, Mashayla Kleinman
