SGS Welcomes New Busses & Drivers

Saint George's has purchased its own school busses and hired drivers for the 2021 school year.  Welcome to our five drivers, including new Transportation Manager John Young.  A native of England with a background in training and safety, John drove for SGS in 2019-20 and will be driving route #5 (Northwest).  Ivo Siemens, with a background in science, has driven for SGS for 17 years.  Ivo will be driving route #1 (South Hill - West).  Cindy Binsfield will be driving route #2 (South Hill - East).  She was a sergeant in the US Air Force and employee of the year for a previous bus company.  Mindy Longwill will be driving students to and from the Valley on route #3.  She worked as a paralegal prior to becoming a bus driver.  And Brenda Wood will be driving the Northeast corridor on route #4.  Her background is as a safety manager and trainer. 

Saint George's new busses were purchased from Issaquah School District in the Seattle area and our drivers checked them out and drove them back to Spokane last week.  Bus service for SGS students began on Tuesday, Sept. 7.  Parents can see details on the new routes and stops in an email they received from Jamie Tender on Sept. 3.
