First Student Syracuse has produced a winning team of Nicole Dolce and Randall Price. The duo will be representing First Student and The Syracuse City School District at the National School Bus Special Needs Road-eo competition in Orlando Florida in March.

They will be judged in driving, backing, loading, unloading, securing students in wheelchairs, and evacuating the bus all while maintaining behavioral control of special needs passengers. This is quite a challenge as they will be judged on everything they do and say during the event. The team also has to complete a written test before going to the Road-eo in March.

Congratulations and good luck to Nicole and Randall!
