This is Debbie Ballinger and she
is a bus driver for South Pekin Grade School. She had to take special
classes and a test to get a bus driver's permit. Debbie knows where
to take all the children, because she learns her route before the school
year starts. There can be up to 70 children on the bus at one time.
She has to use her mirrors to help her see all around the bus. If
there is a problem on or with the bus, she calls for help on a cellular
phone.
