Abstract: This study of the historical and legal development of the role of school bus drivers in the pupil transportation program of North Carolina is relevant to a major administrative problem facing public school officials today—school bus safety and student bus drivers. In recent years, a drastic increase in fatal school bus accidents has alarmed and concerned citizens, legislators, and public school officials of the state. Many groups and individuals feel that the state's heavy reliance on student bus drivers is the major cause for the increase in fatalities. Critics claim that high school students as a group are too immature and unreliable to be entrusted daily with the lives of school children. They propose that the state should rely largely on adult school bus drivers. The major aim of this study was to place the "student driver - adult driver" debate in its proper historical and legal perspective.
