The New York State Education Department requires a Record Review Form for every school bus driver and monitor/attendant. Frank Klein, Director of Safety and Training Operations at Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc., developed a valuable resource to support this requirement. This guide explains the regulations associated with each field on the Record Review Form and includes a companion document outlining the relevant regulations for both drivers and monitors/attendants.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Frank Klein for creating this helpful tool, which serves as a practical reference for school bus professionals.

Use the buttons below to access the forms and the comments document containing detailed regulations. These materials were originally developed in 2024 and last updated on August 20, 2025.

Please note that regulations may change over time—always consult the New York State Education Department for the most current information.
