So on the advice of my attorney I had my doctor write a note which I submitted to our HR person. Then they said I had to see their doctor for a physical to verify my personal physician's opinion. I spoke to my attorney again, and he said absolutely not, and that they were going to be in violation of some aspects of the ADA, so I very professionally brought this to my superintendent's attention, and lo & behold they accepted the note from my personal physician (which by the way, due to protecting my privacy, did not have to specify what condition, only that it would prevent me from driving a bus).
So the moral of the story is 1) TCTA is awesome 2) it's great going into a meeting with your principal or super knowing exactly what your legal rights & contractual obligations are and 3) if you do have a medical condition that would preclude you from driving, you shouldn't have to see their doctor or be forced to do testing and/or drive.
