Exciting career opportunity with a growing School District!

BUS DRIVERS

There is also the option of driving for field trips or other school activities for extra hours.  A bus driving career is an ideal job if you prefer not to work evenings or weekends. Plus, you get the winter and spring breaks off as well as the summer!
