Two Days: Friday, April 2  |  Saturday, April 3

Day 1:   8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  |  Embassy Suites Charlotte-Concord

Day 2:   9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.  | Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools

Description: Developed by school bus maintenance and inspection expert Marshall Casey, STN EXPO offers the National School Bus Inspection Training Program to fully train technicians on how to conduct regular vehicle inspections, above and beyond state or federal Department of Transportation guidance. The program is derived from best practices used in overseeing the maintenance of school buses in South Carolina, the only completely owned and operated state fleet in the nation. Attendees will learn how to discover more defects prior to failure, which allows for expedited repairs, increased vehicle uptime, and a more efficient maintenance program. Friday’s agenda includes eight hours of classroom instruction, including preparation for a written exam, with a second day of hands-on identification planned for defects on real school buses and follow-up training by school bus manufacturers, hosted by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools and with lunch and transportation provided.
