Which class of endorsement is designated for driving a school bus?

The class of endorsement designated for driving a school bus is the S endorsement. This specific endorsement is required in addition to a standard driver’s license and ensures that the driver has the necessary training and qualifications to operate a school bus safely.

The S endorsement is specifically tailored to address the unique responsibilities and requirements of transporting school children, emphasizing safety and adherence to regulations. It encapsulates the importance of understanding the additional rules that apply to school buses, such as stop-sign laws and passenger safety protocols.

Other endorsements serve different purposes, such as the P endorsement, which is for passenger vehicles, or the T endorsement, which is for double/triple trailer operation. Each endorsement class has its own specific requirements and target uses, which is why the S endorsement is distinctively designated for school bus operation.
