School Bus Drivers' Overtime

Palm Beach, FL: (Oct-31-07) Several school bus drivers and attendants brought charges against the Palm Beach County School Board, alleging that they were not properly paid for services they rendered to the school, including overtime. As part of a settlement reached between the parties, the Palm Beach County School Board agreed to pay school bus drivers and attendants $1.3 million for back overtime pay from the 2005-2006 and the 2006-2007 school years. School officials confirmed the deal, stating that drivers will receive as much as $1,200 and bus attendants will receive as much as $900. Employees would receive the checks in six months. Though the vote was unanimous, School Board members Sandra Richmond, Paulette Burdick and Debra Robinson were absent during the session. [PALM BEACH POST: BUS DRIVER OVERTIME]
