In our district the non-certified employees union mandates that a bus be used to transport students for everything. My DD was taking some HS classes when she was in middle school. The campuses are across town (about a 3 minute drive) and we made arrangements for her grandmother to take her daily. Nope. She rode, by herself, on a full sized school bus every single day of the year. Absolutely awful waste of money and we felt bad about it.
Same thing with field maintenance now that I'm coaching in the district. Have a buddy who does lawn care and was willing to keep our field mowed until the season ended. AD said it's not allowed because of the union contract. So, we'll get our field mowed about 3 times over the course of the entire season by school staff.
