District 303 Is Hiring School Bus Drivers

Fro District 303:Community Unit School District 303 is currently recruiting bus drivers to fill 14 open positions for the 2018-2019 school year. Many of the open positions are due to a large number of retirements that occurred at the end of this school year.

Starting pay for the part-time positions that are 4-5 hours per day is $19.00 per hour. Drivers are responsible for a variety of routes including student pick-up in the mornings and drop off in the afternoons. Special routes for field trips, extra-curricular activities and the Fox Valley Career Center are also scheduled through District 303 transportation. Director of Transportation Terry Primdahl expressed her gratitude for the drivers on staff in District 303, “We are fortunate that many of our drivers have chosen to work here for many years, and safely carry our community members’ most precious cargo every day. Bus drivers are the first people to greet students in the morning, and they are the last to see the students in the afternoons so we are looking for people who understand the importance of this position.”

The District will train qualified candidates who want to obtain their Commercial Driver’s License. The process takes about 6 weeks so those interested should apply in the next few weeks to give them time to be trained prior to the beginning of the school year. Interested individuals may apply online at http://district.d303.org/employment, visit the Transportation Office at 901 S. Peck Rd., or call the Transportation Office at 331.228.5180.
