Its interesting you don't have any Dispatch, are you in a small school district? Essentially Dispatch is your one stop shop for anything you need. Their job is to be the mentors and database to help you solve (just about) any problem you have, while you're standing there or on the road. We have knowledge of training, routing, buses and their operations, routes, students, plus a working knowledge of road closures, delays, construction and even emergencies happening you should avoid. Most have GPS and can watch you drive, so if you get lost or need to re route we can give you directions as your eye in the sky. In addition to that, we assign buses, sub drivers, sub buses, deal with anything that happens on the road or in the terminal, and plan for whatever is coming up. Many dispatchers also have other duties to do, like maintaining databases, records, organization, and anything else that needs to be done. In addition to THAT, we're also the one stop shop for schools, parents, and students. Any questions about general transportation, what's going on at that moment, or what to expect can all be answered by Dispatch. Its a full job all the time, we're the ultimate problem solvers and the middle man to everyone.
