RE: School Bus Third Party Examiner Recertification
        Pupil Transportation Data Collection Report


This is a recertification year for all Oregon Department of Education School Bus Third Party Examiners. You may recertify in one of the following ways:


*         Attend a recertification class at the OPTA Conference in Bend, OR on June 22

*         Participate in a Webinar on August 17 open for registration now in iLearn at https://ilearn.oregon.gov//DL.aspx?id=5C67CC89A38046ADAF76494FB9FC3A91<https://ilearn.oregon.gov/DL.aspx?id=5C67CC89A38046ADAF76494FB9FC3A91>

*         Take a recertification class available through iLearn

Regardless of what option you choose, there will be testing involved. As a reminder, all ODE Third Party Examiner certifications will expire on September 30, 2016. Be thinking about what option will work best for you.

Coming soon for superintendents, business managers and clerks, is the Annual Pupil Transportation Data Collection Report
The report is due back to ODE by September 1, 2016. We plan to mail the Annual Pupil Transportation Data Collection Report to superintendents in each district by Friday June 10, 2016.  Whether you run your own district buses or use a contracted service, it is the sole responsibility of each school district office to return their report by September 1, 2016. The superintendent or district official will sign forms requiring a signature. The information requested in this report varies, but includes your Bus and Garage Depreciation Report, Transportation Information, Annual Vehicle Certification Report Addendum and Certification of Drug and Alcohol Testing Compliance. Forms will also be posted on the ODE Transportation Website by Friday, June 10, 2016 (http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?=4198). The early mailing will hopefully give everyone the opportunity to return their report to us by September 1, 2016.
