We had some cake and liquor and pekalach for the kids (this in yeshivish school). There was no $$ involved. We didn't even know if we were going to send our son the that school.

But is he teaching them on the bus or just making sure they don't kill each other?

A bus monitor is called a Bus Rebbe because he's usually a Rebbe in the yeshiva too.

I never heard of giving the rebbe money in the beginning of the year. We give money at Purim.
