Bus technician Joshua Chaney keeps things running smoothly on the fleet of more than three dozen school buses that transport students in the San Luis Coastal Unified School District (SLCUSD).
Chaney’s story is featured in the recently released blog series called “Class Notes,” which SLCUSD unveiled this summer. The monthly profiles feature exceptional people, programs and departments that make the district unique.

“We have a great team,” Chaney said.
The mechanic is one of 35 members on the SLCUSD transportation team. In June, Chaney was named California’s best at the CA Association of School Transportation Officials (CASTO) bus technician competition in South Lake Tahoe. The competition included identifying parts and repairing different issues. Each component was timed and judged on accuracy.
In November, he’ll travel to Arlington, VA to compete at the international level where winning teams from regional competitions across the U.S. and Canada will go head-to-head to find the best technician.
