A Case Study on Staff Members’ Perspctives of the School Bus Act

This study examined whether the revision of the School Bus Act is being applied smoothly, focusing on international school-related persons. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted, and the contents were analyzed using Combs(1980)'s theory of policy non-compliance. As a result of the analysis, first, when the policy-related department was provided with unclear guidelines and could not find a place to inquire about detailed policy details, all showed communication-related non-compliance. Second, when a vehicle structure change had to be made with own money to meet the operating standards of school bus, when there was a concern about economic losses due to not being covered by insurance when a vehicle problem related to a structural change occurs, and when there was a limit on the number of passengers working due to the lack of foreign language support during mandatory safety training for school buses, all showed resource-related non-compliance. Third, policy-related non-compliance is stipulated by law, but faith non-compliance has occurred in the workplace, where there is no effect or adverse effect when trying to keep it in the field. Fourth, behavior-related non-compliance occurred when the driver and the guardian repeatedly experienced illegal parking situations when the student got on or off. Finally, authority-related non-compliance occurred when participants in the children's school bus thought that their interests would be intertwined in the way policymakers hastily revised the law by indiscriminately accepting provisions or foreign cases that enforce the economic burden.
