School bus drivers are one of my favorite audiences. They know that trusted relationships help students learn more and live better. Thanks for…allowing me the opportunity to keynote your awesome TSD 2022 Conference. For most kids, school starts on the bus, and school bus drivers are part of the safe and healthy program for our kids every day. Twitter/@drstephensroka
Awesome speaker. I had the privilege of speaking with him as well! Facebook/Dodi Nelson Young
