Specifically, these issues have become a concern as employees can bring claims of discrimination based on practices that may be characterized by favoritism.
The collaborative efforts of the Human Resources Department and the Director of School Transportation have resulted in the following standards related to the assignment of routes and overtime:
Routing assignments shall be based on seniority. Favored...
These attributes include less time to conclude a run, less dense traffic to navigate, less challenging student riders, and runs that conclude earlier in the day. Other preferred routes may include extra-curricular and activity bus runs, and the shorter day special education routes that include bus monitors and aides assigned to individual students.
2. Overtime is frequently related to the type of bus route that is assigned. Examples include routes that transport high school students, as these incorporate extra-curricular and activity bus runs. Also, inclement weather and the absence of bus drivers due to illness or leave will sometimes force drivers into overtime.

Clearly, the results of studies performed through such methods cannot possibly be taken for granted. Moreover, the presence or the absence of the cognitive process cannot be determined with proximity during a problem solving study. Certain problems can be easily solved with the help of insight, as people can sometimes almost suddenly understand a problem or find a solid strategy to solve the respective problem. Even if most people believe that
Problem Solving On a regular basis, humans must solve problems or issues. This has been true for millennia, from the time in which we were hunter-gatherers to now having a myriad of choices in almost every single moment of our lives. We must choose clothing, colors, styles, entertainment, meals, and time schedules, almost down to the minutiae. Because we are now confronted with so many decisions, these decisions often bleed off
