Section 1035.30  Training

a)         The

initial course and annual refresher training courses are required for each

school bus driver permit holder and shall be:

1)         Approved

by the Secretary of State and the agency or organization conducting the course;

2)         Taught

by an instructor certified by the Illinois State Board of Education; and

3)         A

minimum of two hours in length, part of which must include first aid training.

b)         The date of the annual

refresher training shall be computed as follows:

1)         The

first refresher training following initial training must be completed within

one year (365 days) from the date of initial training.  The date of the first

refresher training will be known as the refresher date.

2)         In

the event that an individual completes subsequent refresher training between

the actual refresher date and 60 days prior to that refresher date, the next

annual refresher date will not change. In the event refresher training is

completed more than 60 days prior to the refresher date, the date the driver

completes the refresher training will become the new annual refresher date.

3)         In

recognition of the disaster proclaimed by the Governor in Gubernatorial

Proclamation number 2020-038 issued on March 9, 2020, as extended by subsequent

disaster proclamations, refresher dates for those individuals whose current

refresher date falls in December 2020, January 2021,  February 2021 or March

2021 are extended for a period of 90 days.
