To comply with Federal Law, a Kansas law was passed which created the "S" endorsement for School Bus drivers. What kind of tests will I have to pass to get the "S" endorsement?
Assuming you already have the "P" endorsement, you will have to pass an "S" endorsement knowledge test and a road test in a school bus representative of the type of school bus you will be driving. If you don't already have the "P" endorsement, you will have to pass the "P" endorsement knowledge test also. If I only drive City buses or transport buses not affiliated with a school, do I have to get the "S" endorsement?
No. You only need the "S" endorsement to operate school buses, or buses contracted by a school district to transport school children. Kansas CDL Written Knowledge Tests
