Opportunity for Part-time Classified Employees to Drive School Buses
In an effort to meet the District’s need for additional bus drivers (AM & PM), part-time classified employees are now able to work additional hours as substitute bus drivers.
Allowed Hours
Employees currently working part-time at your location are now allowed to work up to 27 hours per week as follows:
- Current classified employees who are scheduled to work between 8 and 19 hours per week at your location will now be able to work additional hours as a bus driver to a maximum total of 27 hours per week.
- Current classified employees allowed to work additional hours as a bus driver will not be allowed to work additional hours at the school location for any reason.
- Current classified employees must provide their school work schedule to Charlene Arko in transportation and will not be allowed to alter their school schedule to work in transportation.
- Current classified employees working additional hours as a bus driver are without contract or benefits.
Transportation is required to monitor and limit driver hours based on their maximum allowable hours provided by Human Resources when they are hired. Monthly audits will also be conducted.
Application
Interested current part-time employees must submit an online application through Skyward to be considered. A specific posting for current employees is currently available through Employee Access. Employees must be at least 21 years old to drive a bus.

Employees are required to complete the required training, including CDL training, prior to driving. Training classes are scheduled monthly throughout the year. See the attached employee notification for training details.
