School Board Update | July 28, 2025
This week kicks off our annual bus driver training and safety meetings. The Transportation Department is leading four sessions to accommodate over 100 of our dedicated bus and car drivers, dividing them into smaller groups for a full day of focused training.
We are incredibly grateful for the commitment and care our current drivers bring to the job each day. However, we are still in urgent need of additional drivers, especially substitutes.
If you or someone you know is interested in making a positive impact in our schools and community, please consider joining our transportation team.
Safe transportation starts with great people, and we’re hiring!
