She said it would be a passive aggressive thing to do at my expense. She said I shouldn't have to use my sick time to avoid him.

She said he is breaking the law by creating a hositle work environment for me and treating the students poorly (don't get me started on that). She really thinks that I should report him and request to be transfered to another bus. It's a good suggestion, but I've reported him before (for flicking cars off and yelling asshole while students were on the bus) and they gave him a slap on the hand and then he lashed out at me for reporting him. I don't think they could transfer me to another bus as it's so close to the end of the school year, they would just tell me to deal with it.

I don't know what to do now.
Ugh. That sounds like something my T would suggest too. I like the idea because it's an opportunity for you to get it addressed and have the possibility of being transferred. You may want to mention when reporting him that you are fearful of the backlash so they can take steps to ensure that doesn't happen.
