November is one of the busiest field trip months for Long Island schools. With the start of the holiday season, Veterans Day activities, museum outings, cultural programs, and fall learning experiences, transportation departments often find themselves juggling tight schedules and unpredictable weather. For teachers and administrators, coordinating buses, drivers, and schedules can quickly become overwhelming.
