Bus Driver

Bus Driver

As a private school, we do not have regular bus routes. The public school district handles those for us. We do have two school busses, a small activities bus and two vans and we provide transportation for field trips and after school sports. We currently have a small pool of drivers that we send the open routes to and they can choose to sign up for routes based on their availability. It is a first-come, first-served sign up. Therefore, each driver usually gets anywhere from 3-15 hours per week as they sign up for routes. We do offer a 3 hour minimum for any routes you sign up for and we currently offer 20$/hr for Monday-Friday routes and 30$/hr for any weekend routes.
