Canton City Schools Bus Garage, Canton | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

Since December 2011 I have had transportation with three of my children. My 10 yerar old started pre-school on a IEP so was eligible to be picked up/dropped off at home. Through these years, I have met many different pickup/drop off bus drivers/assistance between my 10, 5, & 4 years olds. My youngest two children are currently home pick up/drop offs and the bus driver (Rick) is a non social stick in the mud. He’s NOT the type of person to ask how did my kids do on bus or me saying, “have a good weekend”. I do like the bus assistant however I can’t ask her anything since bus driver Rick is all about kids on…kids off.
Today he came four minutes early as I am having a battle with my younger kids over socks then finding a missing shoe. My 10 year old was helping me and said to the driver hold on and a short word on what we were trying to accomplish. (Anyone who has two young kids and boys so close in age knows how mornings can be on the “my sock isn’t right”, or the wonderful battle of “I’m not wearing that shirt, it’s not Paw Patrol”!) So the driver takes off leaving my children. Yes he waited 4 minutes but he also came 4 minutes early. He didn’t wait another minute..not taking it in consideration that this morning battles doesn’t impact his schedule on a regular basis. We are ready before the bus comes.
Here is what upsets me, he gets to my kids school 10 minutes early and has been told he’s getting there too early and he still continues to drop my kids off early at school but yet he can’t be patient for one morning?!?!?!
I miss the drivers/Assistant from last year (busses 12/15).
I can’t express any of this to Rick since he’s non social and calling the garage won’t do no good so that leaves me with writing this review. If anyone else has similar issues now or in the past with this driver, please let me know.
In conclusion: my 4&5 year old are just kids!! Don’t drive a bus especially for unpredictable 3,4,&5 year olds if you can’t be understanding or patient.

I had an encounter with a bus driver, when I was dropping off snacks for my cheerleader, that I hope no one else ever encounters. I pulled in behind Hartford middle school and apparently (without signs posted), that is the designated bus area. My child doesn’t go to this school, so how was anyone unfamiliar with this school supposed to know that? The bus driver slammed on her horn multiple times screaming things out the bus window, and finally a different bus driver showed me how to get out of the bus line. As I’m pulling out the crazy bus lady was still screaming and hollering and making a scene. If I weren’t from canton and didn’t know how unprofessional people can be in this area, there isn’t a chance that I would want my kids in this district. The bus garage supervisor hasn’t bothered to call back and address it either, just unprofessional and uncivilized,
