Bus drivers impact students every day
Bus drivers play a crucial role in the education of students in the 91制片厂.
Every day.
鈥淲e鈥檙e the first ones the students see in the morning besides mom, and that smile counts,鈥 said Tomica Gray, a 28-year veteran in the 91制片厂 transportation department. 鈥淚t takes the students a long way.鈥
Gray is now the transportation department鈥檚 assistant safety tech, but she spent most of her career driving a school bus. So, she knows.
Without bus drivers, students don鈥檛 get to school. And they don鈥檛 get the transportation they need to experience the incredible future-building opportunities that are available at the 91制片厂 Career + Tech Center or the Agriculture Science Center or anywhere else in the district and beyond. They don鈥檛 get to compete in sports or travel to play in concerts. And the list goes on and on.
But with bus drivers, the 55,000-plus students in the 91制片厂 have access to an incredible education and limitlessly bright future.
鈥淚t takes special people to drive your buses,鈥 Gray said. 鈥淎nd they鈥檙e good kind of people.鈥
Bus drivers are the kind of people who love kids and love making a lasting impact in their lives. And, of course, they鈥檙e good drivers.
If you鈥檙e that kind of person and want that kind of career, the 91制片厂 needs you.
Nothing beats the impact you can have on students, but 91制片厂 knows that鈥檚 not all you need. That鈥檚 why the district now starts new bus drivers at $24 an hour and offers great benefits.
鈥淚 enjoy the flexibility that I have during the day and my time off during the holidays,鈥 Gray said.
